17Hornet Ammo 

The .17 Hornet is a .17 caliber centerfire rifle cartridge originally offered as a “wildcat cartridge” developed by P.O. Ackley in the early 1950s. He created this non-factory (wildcat) offering by simply necking-down the .22 Hornet to .17 caliber and fire-forming the resized cases in his new chamber design. The result was a small quiet cartridge capable of high velocity. Ackley mentions it as one of the most balanced of the .17 cartridges of his time; likely, this is still true As for performance, the  Hornet performs extremely well at ranges between 100 and 400 yards. Hornady’s 20-grain V-Max Superformance Varmint rounds have a blistering 3,540 fps muzzle velocity and put out about 592-foot pounds of energy. It’s still doing 3,078 fps at 100 yards and 2,574 fps at 200 yards.
