Also, being a boat tail and lead free It is nearly the same as a lead 20gr (size wise).

I was typing while you were posting, but it sounds like we had the same experience and if I recall, you've also shot a fair amount of the 15gr ammo in your 17 WSM as well and that stuff shoots really well too.
Wonder if the 15.5 they use in the Hornet ammo is the exact same bullet they use in the 17 WSM but they call it a 15gr in the 17 WSM instead of a 15.5, or if they really are two different bullets, but only .5 of a grain different. Hmmmm
