I have also read about it and it looks good.
Personally my 17HMR and 22H/223Rem cover my needs in this area.

At one time not so long ago I would of been all over this for PD hunting. What with 17Rems 17-221fireballs 17-223 17Hornets. I have a pretty big battery of rifles for that now but pretty much got myself set on just a few as I only have so many days to shoot and so much time to reload. I found myself going crazy trying to keep at least 300 rounds minimum for each gun. And when a couple of them I keep at least 1000+ loaded. Don't know if I am getting wiser,older or just plain lazy. About all I use any more are my 5mm RF,204 ,2 223's,22-250AI thats 5 that pretty much covers all throw in a 22Hornet 22 Rem Jet and the 7x57 thats a lot to me anyways. Now for someone who may just be starting to do this the 17's are prolly a hoot. What I do like from what I have read is the Superformance powder and I am going to try and work that into a couple of my loads. But then maybe what about a 17 Hornet pistol. What I should be buying is a Auto loading set up instead of using this one armed bandit loader.  ;D Kurt

I just bought a 17hmr just for the barrel for this project. It will likely be a twin to the 17 fireball that I have. There is something to be said about a quiet very low recoil rife that is a laser out to 200-250 yds. Do I need it, not really, but it is my stress relief.

I have everything but the barrel set aside for this. Even a Bushnell 3200. Im not shure if Ill rechamber a 17 HMR or stub in a Green Mountain 17 cal barrel. Ive been watching the boards for 17AH reloading dies but have been beaten out on the few that come up. Heres hoping the H&R mothership sees this and does a run of them! DR

It will take a different die than the AH. The good news is, it will be off the shelf, not a custom wildcat.

Cooper Firearms has been making this round for years, calling it the 17 Squirrel. Dies should already be available, perhaps under a different name though.




Thanks, Dinny

The squirrel is a hornet case that is shortened 1/8". This has the same oal as the 22 hornet. I am not 100% sure, but it may fireform to the 17 K hornet. The dies will be a production die by Hornady, I am sure.

It's a new cartridge.  They necked down the .22 Hornet to .17 caliber.  Wondering if H&R are going to do make a gun for it.  While it is not as fast as the .17 Remington, or the .17 Fireball, I believe it is doing over 3700fps. (I'll have to check on that but I think I am right).  Great trajectory out to 300 yards.

It would make a great accessory barrel, since it would fit most all SB1 and SB2 frames. ;)
 
I've only given slight consideration to ordering an accessory barrel, but this would be one that I definately would order if they produced one.

It should be a great little cartridge. I think there has already been some speculation on if H&R is going to chamber a gun for it. Only time will tell if it becomes popular and if H&R will chamber it :-\



H&R considered the 17 Rem Fireball, but it never happened.

Am I right in assuming that a 17HMR barrel could be rechambered for this round with just the extractor having to be changed?

Yes, when used on a centerfire frame.

I have rechambered several .22lr barrels to 22 Hornet and you do not even have to change the ejectors, you just chamber it with the ejector in place.  Larry

The 17 HMR is a dream come through no reloading and good out to 200. I  love that little rim fire. Fred M
