.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.
. 44 Russian
44 Russian Ammo About The .44 Russian Ammo, also known as the .44 S&W Russian Ammo, is a black powdered centerfire metallic bullet created for revolvers and was made available to the general public in 1870. The .44 Russian Ammo used the .44 S&W American as its parent case and was designed according to its blueprints. The .44 Russian Ammo generated much more chamber pressures than its parent casing. To avoid damage to the barrel due to the high pressures of the bullet, the overall length of the .44 Russian Ammo was increased by .06 inches. This cartridge became a domestic hit and became the first American revolver bullet to offer inherent accuracy. Many records were set using the .44 Russian Ammo, so it came to be an effective target round. The overall length of the .44 Russian Ammo is 36mm, and the bullet diameter of this cartridge is 10.9mm. The 246-grain bullet variant of the .44 Russian Ammo can travel at a velocity of 750 feet per second while creating an energy level of 310 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The .44 Russian Ammo was designed after the .44 S&W American Ammo by Smith & Wesson in 1870 in the United States. Uses The .44 Russian Ammo is still used today mainly for target shooting as it provides the shooter with precise accuracy.
