Default Hornady Discontinues #1710

The title says it all.
No more .172 25gr HP from Hornady... Its a shame really.. Does anyone use Berger 25grs and how do they compare if so?

Not that I dont believe you but where did you see that? I like that bullet. Not as the Berger 25 hp match but it is a good bullet.

Sure enough. Web site shows only 20 and 25 grain vmax listings for 2019.

Straight from the horses mouth.

So are they really making a new .172 bullet?

They don't show a .172 in the 2019 New Offerings on the website, only 20 and 25 VMAX.

Both in 17 Rem and 17 FB

this might be enough incentive to get Sierra to make .17s.

Damned shame they don't anyway.

.17 caliber is a tiny market.
