[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 748290, member: 2736"] I haven't seen any either. The down side is the length. It will require a hornet length action (The HMR uses a 22 rim fire Mag action length). And if you have a hornet length action you might as well go with the Hornet or the K Hornet. The K hornet will push a 40 grain Bullet (Twice as much weight and a .200 bc) 3050 ft/sec+ and has less wind deflection and drop. I love the 17 HMR and wonder why if they were going to 1 up the HMR they did not keep the COAL the same, and just fatten the case for more case capacity to acheave the faster velocity. I can push the 30 grain bullet 3346 ft/sec in my K hornet and get 2600 ft/sec from my custom 17 HMR. The 17 Hornet can push a 20 grain .177 cal bullet 3650 ft/sec and can be reloaded. this cartrige will smoke the 17 WSM and the 17 K hornet can exceed 3800 ft/sec with the same bullet. So I see no real advantage for the shooter and you have to buy all of the 17 WSM ammo. (Good for the ammo maker ). This is just my opinion as to the advantage/disadvantage of the cartrige.
