[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 136522, member: 10"] [b]Re: Opinions wanted, again.....[/b] Norham, THanks for the link, looked some of it over this morning, very interesting for sure!!! I really like the idea of the 17 Ack. Hornet but in the very short Ruger rotary magazine, it is pretty cramped length wise with the tipped bullets. In the CZ there is a bit more breathing room. This is why I would like to shorten the case a bit without loosing any case capacity. A 20 gr V-Max at 3900 fps would be pretty interesting but I do not think I would get that in my version as it would hold a bit less then the Ack design. Still, I suspect I could easily hit 3600-3650 fps with that bullet which would give a solid 1000 fps advantage over the 17 HMR and in a reloadable package. Your 30 BR has alot of merit as well. Like you said, **** near endless barrel life and amazing accuracy. I have no experience with this round, is 3K fps a comfortable load with the 125 gr TNT? Sounds like alot but I have only worked with the larger caliber BR cases in single shot handguns. Thanks for the info. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
