[QUOTE="B1s BmagX2, post: 2268292, member: 116037"] The 17 Hornet is a heck of a round! I kinda wish I hadn't sold my Ruger 77-22 Hornet. I let it go and my Savage 93 HMR when I got the WSM since it pretty much replaced them both. As an afterthought, I could have kept the 22 Hornet and had it re-barreled for the 17 Hornet. But since I do have the custom AR in 223 Wylde I guess it's not a total loss. The ballistics drop chart is almost identical to the 17 Hornet and the brass is a lot more plentiful and cheaper. But it would be fun just to have that Hornet hanging around for whenever I feel like using it. I've lost count of how many hogs I've dispatched this year so far?? Gotta be at least 75?? Mostly with the WSM. But I did nail one last week at 400+ yards with my 22-250. I'm guessing I've blown up a dozen or so with that rifle in our larger hay fields just after bailing. I have a nephew who has his rifles custom-built. He beaned one at 775 yards according to the range finder!!! He used his 6mm Ackley Improved with a 1st focal plane Night Force scope, I think it's a 6X24X50?? He doesn't mind spending 5-6 grand on a rig, but I figure the hogs don't know the difference!!! It's just amazing to see him hit something that small at that distance.. It is kind of a humbling experience! [/QUOTE]
