There seems to be a bit of confusion concerning what some of the small cartridges look like, particularly the 20's. Here are some samples.......

1. 17 Mach IV
2. 17 Javelina
3. 17 Remington
4. 17-223 (H&R Ultra Wildcat chambering)
5. 17 Ackley Magnum (17-222 Mag.)
6. 19-223 Calhoon
7. 20 Tactical
8. 20-223 Ackley Improved

Note the powder capacity of the last three. The Tactical 20 is the most consevative. I don't have a pic of the 17 TNT, but it is a standard 17 Remington necked up with no other changes.

#2 please. I promise I'll eat all of my vegetables and clean up my toys. .17 Javelina please.

Cool picture Dan, I like it. My next .17 will be a Javelina. Thanks for the picture. I love the way all of your cases are polished, even the ones that you sent me.

Now, that 17 Bumble Bee is a cute little bugger. Budd Tanner, who makes the Tanner 17 bullets, shoots a 17 in benchrest matches. It's a 17 Mach IV run in .250" short! Tiny little thing and he says it will run his 22 gr bullets out at 38-3900 fps. I darn near built one, but finally talked myself out of it.........
