I got sidetracked on so many things these last few years I've never really worked up a great load for my .17 Killer Bee., so that's on the drawing board.
Also, having finished forming about 450 WW cases for the CZ Varmint .17 Hornady Hornet that needs a load finished for it as well. Hopefully I can work up a hand-load for it that shoots as good as the factory 20 grain V-Max ammo does.
I've promised myself that there will be no new projects put together until those in the safe without loads developed have finalized loads sitting in MTM boxes on the shelf ready to roll.
Looking forward to spring and the .17's will be a big part of it.

Default It would be a great year....

To buy a new truck to haul around your varmint guns
Every time someone asked,you could say "oh its a "17"
It would be a great year to take a trip to Montana with some 17 caliber rifles also

leave it to you to be 3 years ahead of some of the rest of us lol!!!

I with Doug (sidetracked) and that darn Ray just never stops on the 17s!!! He must be up to like 100 different 17s now??? Lol

Matt a trip to Montana (especially in a new truck!!) would be a dream come true!

I'll be working in completing a few old 17 projects as well as maybe starting and completing one, maybe two that I've always wanted to do. I also want to play around with a 17 Killer Bee in a #1 that's been begging to get out and play!!!

I've had '17 years each year since 1973, and I plan to have many more.

All the best to you and yours, Gary, in the new year.

Bought a 17HMR yesterday that I didn't need and am thinking about a 17 Hornet or another 17WSM at sometime.
