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



Not the same. I can't seem to find any 17 hornet ammo....I know I have a box of 15.5gr NTX somewhere. In the past, I pulled a 15.5gr NTX Factory loaded .17 hornet and it weighed 15.5gr and is a boattail.


Anyway, I just dissected a winchester .17 WSM 15.0gr round..........here are some pics.








Winchester powder on the right.........
Ramshot Enforcer (pistol powder I use for my 22 MINK) on the left.........


Similar, but not the same.........at first glance I thought, I bet they use Ramshot Enforcer(but why would winchester do that?, Im' sure they use a pistol powder of their own).
