17 Hornet

[Big bore dinosaur]

Love my C. Z. Little ruff around the edges , but a shooter .. you get what you pay for ,, the set trigger is great ..
You'll like the 17HH , cheap to reload.. little picky with small changes, trimm lenght, and primers play a big factor in my rifle.. also.. if you use a VDL inside neck champer, boolits seat nicer..
CFE BLK was the powder for me.. keeps the fouling down to a minimum, groups stay tight with 150 to 200 rounds..
I'll have to try V120 , the fouling in the CFE powers is also harder to deal with then copper fouling. On the fence with this powder

Dont like the fact the C.Z. uses a control feed .. rimmed cartridges .... what to do!!
Kind off annoying when your trying to set your full length dies..
Terminal performance is great.. pops them hard..
Fun to shoot in the wind .. requires a little Kentucky windage,
Over all you can't go wrong with this caliber ..

If you are really stuck, you could purchase one in the USA, and have Prophet River import it for you. I see several listed in the USA

Bought the CZ Varmint in 17 Hornet a couple of years ago, great gun. I have had a couple of people try to convince me to sell it to them, not going to happen. Haven't loaded for it yet as I got a deal on a case of Hornady ammo, but I will have a lot of cases to load soon.

Looks like I may have to go that route, oh well a guy has got to do what a guy has got to do! Thanks for all the input & I will let you guys know how it turns out.

Appreciate that very much. I have already done as you suggested to no avail. I have searched high & low with all the importers, distributors, etc. - nothing. Got a WTB in the EE also, I will keep looking.

THE TURD MUST GO!

Hey Bad Bob~should be hearing back today, I'll update you here..or by PM. No promises...but hopefully they have a knack for finding oddball CZs.

Darn I had an unfired 527 varmint 17 hornet I sorta wish now I had kept. Couldn’t find any gopher pastures so I figured a 17 hornet was useless then. Unless I just wanted to shoot birds with it. Lol. Neat little round tho

By the way I saw two gorgeous ruger 77/17 hornets on prophetriver firearms website. Green stocks. Look much nicer than the cz that’s for sure
