.22 Hornet to 17 AH

[Basscat1960]

I recently acquired a 17 AH rifle.
I have reloading experience but not with a wildcat round. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Only 22 Hornet brass I have found is Hornady. Is reducing down the neck to .17 cal doable with Hornady brass?
Thanks Thomas

I had to have a funnel 3d printed in order to fill my cases. Im using a 17 hornady hornet though.

Just shoot 17 Hornady Hornet rounds in the rifle they should fire form to the Ackley Hornet case. I had a 22K Hornet. I shot 22 Hornet cartridge through it They fire formed and where really accurate

If it works I have an incredible recipe for your 17 Ackley I use this load in my 17 Hornet. Im cronograph ing 3800 with a Nosler 20 gr Hollow Point accuracy is great. 12.5 gr of N120. 205M. Id guess that in the 17 Ackley you could approach 3900. With the 15gr 3950. When I had my 22 Hornet rechambered to the 22K Hornet. With the 30 gr bereger i was at 3300. The Hornet Cartridges are underrated

Id like to see the dance moves on that sucker.

I use that load when shooting ground squirrels in alfalfa fields. Its great on Marmots and Jackrabbits to

It was a joke. You typed choreographing instead of cronographed/ing. Just making a funny.

I admit im a lousy speller. Have a hard time spelling Vihtavouri. Keep having to look it up. Anyway N120 is what I shoot in my 17 Hornet

I use a1680, it's as fast as hornady super performance factory ammo

Look forward to resizing my .22 H cases and working up loads. Waiting on the extended shell holder to come in. Thanks for the info.
