Just looking for real world experience on yotes and reloading combos you guys are liking ive shot a number in the past with an hmr so realize the limitations of the 17 cal but am thinking the hornet will be a nice little close range pelt saver. I primarily use a 22-250 and 223 and own a 204 as well but this little cartridge has been an itch for a while im excited to play around

I'm following this with interest, as I asked the same questions myself so many times that I finally ordered a 527 Varmint in 17 Hornet myself! Only got it last week, THEN remembered I hadn't considered rings. lol So, mine won't see any action for a while yet.
Curious to know (from the hand loaders) what powders are considered the best for 17 Hornet, whether or not CCI BR4 (my preferred for .223) is a good choice for a primer, etc. Most of what I have for powders are geared for .204/.223/.243...I've never owned a Hornet. From what I gather, you don't want powders on the faster end of the spectrum.
Not trying to hijack the thread, I think the questions are in line...
