.17 Hornet

Markhor

Anybody using the .17 Hornet, I would like to know about its performance, what it is being used on, any general information would be appreciated.

Are there any gun dealers supplying the ammo and rifles in the Republic.

Thanks.

The Hornet and the HMR are *very* different rounds 'shooter. Hornet is a CF round, not RF.
