[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1288896, member: 7999"] Do you happen to know the twist in the CZ? It is 9" in the Hornet so I assume it is the same. We have just started designing a couple of bullets for the .17. An 18g and a 20g. They are the same length at .5". The 18g is designed for 9" twist and the 20g for 10" twist. The 18g has more boat tail and a more aggressive nose. We could possibly get a bit heavier for the 9" twist but they will get pretty blunt. These are designed with a 1.5mm hollow point as we are looking for violent impacts on varmints. We could gain a little weight and get better ballistics without a hollow point but I am guessing your use for .17's is for terminal performance. This is a long way of saying we are working on .17's but we will not be able to make them as heavy as you are talking because we are pure copper. They are fast though. We had an 18g last year that we ran at 3800fps in the Hornet. That bullet was too long and would not stabilize in the 9" twist below 5000' elevation. Steve [/QUOTE]
