You know Scotty, you could always turn that thing into a 17 Ackley Hornet. http://www.varmintal.com/ashot.htm

Interesting website that I found a long time ago.
Heh, figured that would get you goin'. I checked out the Hornet this morning, and it seems up to the task.

Actually, I really like the idea of the factory cartridge. The low pressure, low powder consumption, and ~250yd application is appealing. I know the K-Hornet and such are supposed to be easier on brass and stuff, but I'm loading mine a good ~120fps under spec so no worries. A 40gr Vmax at ~2600fps is still plenty of punch. If I need more power, I can always grab the next gun up the ladder.
