Thanks, did a search for .17 hornet, but got mixed results, the link provided is just what I am looking for.

YUP!

I just checked and I should have ammo today and god willing, I'll be at the range tomorrow to shoot it for the first time!

Mine shot a one hole group the first time out, considering I only had one live round, I guess it was average. Cabelas shows 50 rounds will be here thursday, and I am going to see what it will do this week end. I got my reamer and die blanks yesterday and the Wilson die blanks last week, so it is time to make some dies.

I am going to wait for the Hornady dies. Should be Avalible EOM....

In the mean time I have 100 tonight and 100 more in two weeks or so. That gives me 100 pcs brass for each gun. Should be enough for a while. ;)

I have dies ordered from Midsouths. I ordered 3 blanks 1 for a form die, one for a body die, and one for a full length die. The Wilson dies, will give the least runout, and give me the option of changing neck tension. I hope the Hornady dies show up, but I am not holding my breath for March delivery.
