Ruger 77/17 Hornet
Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
Anyone reloading the 17 Hornet yet? I have done some but trying to figure out what powder Hornady uses in the 20gr. V-Max factory load. I have tried contacting Hornady but no response.

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
Sorry, Mack, if it's like the 204, it will be their own proprietary blend. As in, not available to us that roll our own.

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
I haven't read through the entire post, however my question is do these hornets suffer from the same 2 piece bolt issue their 22 hornet does?

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
Alberta: Lots of guys have had their Ruger Hornet bolts shimmed to fix that sloppy bogus two piece arrangement with excellent accuracy results. Just a thought if you're considering one for yourself. ![chin :chin:](./images/smilies/chin.gif)

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
Huntsman as much as you have shot your 17 hornet have you had any issues with the ammo or reloading the brass and the primmer pocket problems.

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
The brass I have has been good, other than shallow primer pockets on a bunch. I wish I'da kept track of lot numbers. That said, it's just more work to use the sinclair uniformer and deepen the heck outta them.
