What ammo is this?

[KahrMan]

I know but the question is do you know. The first correct answer wins a fabulous prize of a congratulations from me.

I am betting someone will get it in the first three guesses

The 50 cal is just there for reference.

The angle makes it a little hard to tell.  I'm guessing 7mm WSM?

.577 Snider

Here is another pic for reference. The two above guesses are a little big.(a lot to big)

.17 WSM?

[MP5_Rizzo]

17 Hornet

[KahrMan]

Ding Ding Ding...MP5_Rizzo Wins.  It is a .17 Hornady Hornet.

Supposedly my .17 Ackley Improved Hornet can shoot .17 Hornady Hornet.  I guess we will find out this weekend.

[MP5_Rizzo]

I assume the 17  HH has ever so slightly smaller dimensions than the 17 AHI so you are basically fire forming the 17HH into 17 AHI.  I base this on the fact a 17 AHI will NOT chamber into a 17 Hornady Hornet.

That is what I have read.  The shoulder angle is a little different int he two.  First I want to make sure it will chamber properly.  If it does, I will test it this weekend.

If I hear an explosion near the duck pond, I'll know it didn't work.  :D

Should be no problem as that is how many do it.
