Do you have a favorite load for your 17HH, if you care to post it, along with total overall loaded cartridge length, I'll run it thru QL and see what are the Powder Burn spec's/length is, etc. This may help you in making your choice. Tia, Don

Some thought might be give to whether the rifle is one for carrying a lot or is it shot off the bench?................or somewhere between?
I know a 17 hornet a smallish case but the shorter the barrel the more noise it makes in general. Will the short barrel be a nuisance in a group shoot? How will the completed rifle balance with a short barrel? Of course, that can be mediated some with barrel contour selection. I tend to prefer longer barrels for a lot of reasons, most of my shooting is on a bench anymore riding bags. I am not real fond of a rifle that does not have some balance to it, too far in front and too far to the rear really bugs me with a rifle. I am not always sure if the max performance is what we were really after. |

I am not talking about maximizing velocity, I am talking about maximizing accuracy. Velocity, excessive that is, is a well know degrader of accuracy. The fastest load isn't always the most accurate. Chuck which gun is more accurate? The Martini or the CZ? (my guess the turnbolt)

17 Hornet
Douglas they run pretty close together with the edge going to the CZ. As for the smallest group both shot their best groups around .65 but the CZ averaged smaller, especially when reaching around 20 rounds, the Martini started to open up. Neither rifle shot over 1" and that was after running 40 rounds down each of them. I might add that this was the first time to the range for either, I was pleasantly surprised with both. As you would expect I wouldn't take 2 CZ's in trade for that Martini though. I'm finishing up a clone of this one only in 256 WinMag and a matte finish.

Regarding your other post.....my 17AH's aren't fussy about cleaning. About every 400-600rds, and there's never any copper fouling. Bullets have a light film of Lee Lube. Last edited by Ackman; 05-15-2015 at 05:21 AM. |

My CZ .17 will drop off in accuracy if fired over 400rounds in a day - doesn't happen any more where I was shooting rats - aren't many left - damn.
The Pac-Nor .17, I've run up over 500 in a day, and was still busting rats out to 350-400yards easily, nary a miss. An overnight soak in Wipe-Out cleaned both spotlessly. The CZ barrel picked up a bit more copper than the Pac-Nor, but not much. The Pac-Nor barely showed any blue colour on the first patch, the CZ only a tich more. Subsequent soaks showed none left. That overnight soaking is marvelous.

Chuck, that Martini stock looks almost like fine Italian marble, simply stunning!
