Post by: Bowman66 on February 24, 2014, 08:36:20 PM

Has anyone seen any 17 Hornet ammo lately? We have been looking for a month straight and it has disappeared!

BM66,   Hit 5 good stores last week while up for the MC hunt.  Was told by all that the only thing tougher for them to get over 17WSM was 17 Hornet.  Dick

I saw a box of 17 wsm today.  Was looking for 16 gauge and found it.

I found .17 hornet ammo...only problem is you have to purchase a .17 hornet from them also.

That's a crappy deal. I don't need a second one I'm quite happy with the one I have. Lol but thanks for keeping an eye out!

They were the same way with 22 mag. Their prices for a .17 hornet were outrageous. I think $700 for a Savage.
I found a place that had a bunch of 22 mag, 22 lr, and 17 hmr. It was pricey. I'll keep looking. Do you reload?

I do not reload but have been thinking of starting. If that's the only way I can get ammo it might be the only option. I use to help my dad and brother so I have most of the know how just not the equipment.

I would recommend getting on a back order list for now.

That's a bit far for me to drive. Thank you though. I got 5 boxes last week for two different guys, thank you though!
