Not seen much written or said about this calibre/rifle for quite a while here in the UK. Has it died over here, or not taken off as yet due to poor supply and to few rifle manufacturers willing to take the calibre on?

I've had a slot for a .22 WMR for quite a while now, and I'm wondering whether to continue to hold off and get a "1 for 1" and get a .17 WSM, or bin that idea and just get the .22 WMR??.

So any info about supply would be appreciated.

And also any constructive opinions would be good to add to the pot to!

Cheers.

It's a fair point..... I've had the .22 Hornet, and .204 Ruger, before my .223, and did consider the .17 Hornet at one point.

I did enjoy the .22 Hornet, but found it hard work to get a good tight group. In fairness, like most of my reloading, I was probably just being OTT...

So when the .17 WSM came along I liked the idea of the extra ft/lb at distance it gave, but in a disposable case form, if that makes sense.??

If you need any of the ammo the Dorset gun company have some. I was in there the other day when he was saying he'll never sell it. lol

That's interesting. I'll look him up and see what the price is per box.

I wonder if he sells the .17 WSM... :hmm:
