.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.
.454 Casull
Developed by Dick Casull, Duane Marsh, and Jack Fullmer in 1958, 454 Casull Ammo is a powerful wildcat firearm cartridge. The design of this ammo is based on the .45 Colt case, so both .45 Schofield and .45 Colt cartridges can fit well in 454 Casull’s chamber. Because of the high chamber pressure of over 60,000 CUP, this cartridge uses a small rifle primer instead of pistol primer. 454 Casull Ammo comes in a .45 colt case that is about 0.10 inches in length. Bullet weight is around 240 to 300 grains and delivers a muzzle velocity of 1900 feet per second. These rounds can be loaded to a maximum of 65,000 psi pressure and the pressure when fired will be over 60,000 CUP. 454 Casull Specification: Cartridge case: .45 Colt Case type: Rimmed straight Bullet diameter: 11.5 mm (.452 in) Neck diameter: 12.2 mm (480 in) Base diameter: 12.2 mm (.480 in) Rim diameter: 13.0 mm (.512 in) Rim thickness: 1.4 mm (.057 in) Case length: 35.1 mm (1.383 in) Overall length: 45 mm (1.77 in) Case capacity: 2.95 cm3 Primer type: Boxer Small rifle Maximum pressure (SAAMI): 65,000 psi (450 MPa) The 454 Casull is a hard-hitting handgun cartridge perfect for hunting dangerous animals. It is produced by several manufacturers and is available in different types including full metal jacket (FMJ), hollow point, jacketed hollow point (JHP), soft point, and semi-jacketed hollow point (SJSP). The 454 Casull is powerful and is loaded with a lot of powder to make the bullet travel at a supersonic speed. Recoil is stronger than similar ammos.
