.17 Hornet
17 Hornet Ammo The 17 Hornet Ammo is a fascinating cartridge with two stories to tell. The first 17 Hornet Ammo was created by P.O. Ackley, a famous cartridge developer back in the 1950s. He took the .22 Hornet and necked it down so it could accept a 17 caliber projectile. As a wildcat cartridge, Ackley’s 17 Hornet Ammo was not commercially produced. Then in 2002, Hornady rekindled the idea and also updated the previous 17 Hornet Ammo. The idea behind the updates was to reduce noise levels when shot close to human habitations. It was also to provide ammo that was less prone to ricochet. Unfortunately, due to these updates, the 17 Hornet cartridges won’t fire properly in old guns due to the varying case dimensions. You can, however, modify the old guns to shoot the new ammo if you desire. The primary purpose behind the production of the 17 Hornet Ammo is to hunt predator animals and varmints. The 17 Hornet Ammo is a winner in the speed game when you use lightweight projectiles of 20 and 25 grains. It can easily reach 3,600 feet per second and still have enough energy left at 200 yards to kill predators like a fox. In addition, the recoil on rifles chambered in the 17 Hornet Ammo is surprisingly light. Therefore, it is an excellent pick for building up experience and improving your basic shooting skills. All these are still achievable while you’re still hunting varmint. Today, there are three different loads of the .17 Hornet Ammo, with Hornady and Winchester as the manufacturers.
22 MAGNUM
22 Magnum Ammo About .22 Magnum Ammo is rimfire cartridge weighing about 40 grams in total and uses a thicker and much larger case that allows it to withstand higher pressure levels under extreme heat. Increased powder and high pressures resulted in .22 Magnum Ammo delivering velocities over 2,000 feet per second from a rifle and 1,500 feet per second from a handgun. This ammunition is capable of reaching 125 yards in maximum point-blank range, making it perfect for taking down small game. The comparatively silent and ignorable recoil make it quite suitable to shoot for extended periods. Uses .22 Magnum Ammo is known to provide a good level penetration at all ranges and a more reliable expansion when used in longer ranges thanks to the expanding bullets. Since the .22 Magnum Ammo carries the same bullet weight as the .22 Long Rifle Ammo, both are used for similar purposes. Since this bullet has a decent effective range, you can take successful medium, ranged shots to take down small game. So, if you are in need to a short-range point-blank shot or shoot a small game from a comfortable distance with mild recoil, .22 Magnum Ammo will surely prove to be the best companion to you and offer an effective level of penetration making it a good choice for hunting.
