17 hornet, is it just my rifle
I seem to be getting some pretty high velocities from my cz. today I shot a .379 five shot group with 12.44 gr of aa1680 with a 20 gr vmax at 3830 fps.
25 gr vmaxes shot a .50 5 shot group at 3515 fps, now that's a groundhog thumping load.

That’s some nice groups there Bob and some nice velocity!
If yours is a 17AH then that’s about the same velocity as I get with my contenders and Ruger 77/AH with 1680 and the 20s. I’ve never shot the 25s in them. But my groups are only 1/2”-5/8” with occasional sub 1/2” groups. I’ve been wanting to get out my Chrony and finish working up a load for my CZ 17 Hornady hornet with a pacnor Barrel and see what it’s running.

Not just yours, home swagged 17gn with a long .530” jacket. 4 rounds in .188” fifth blew it to .6ish. They shoot alright. Fast flat and cheap to run.

Get the 17 Hornet! 100 times better than the WSM!

Comparing the 17 Hornet and the 17 WSM is like comparing a Cadillac and a Yugo. Two totally different breeds of cat........

Yes, but a lot of folks, say the WSM is one of the greatest things since Sliced bread. Bill K

I've got a great shooting B mag. But I love Rugers and I just wanted a Better rifle! So got about a year I was back forth on which one to get wsm Ruger or 17 hornet Ruger? Shot my buddy's 17 Hornet Ruger and being able to reload for it I went with 17 hornet ! Now my reloads are right around 17 Wsm velocitys! But at least I know what in getting! Glad I got the 17 Hornet!
