Pressure is probably to high for most rim fire actions and the case being larger there would be extraction consequence.

The simply possible conversion is a 17HMR handi-rifle or other single shot break action. I'd have to measure the cylinder again on my Unmarried 6 17HMR, that might be an pick also - NOPE, I FORGOT, THE FIRING PIN WON'T STRIKE PROPERLY!, but once again, no 17HMR repeater can do it. The mag box, ejection port, and commodities face aren't big enough nor am I convinced that the lock-upwardly is potent enough. If I middle a WSM case on my 17HMR Savage 93 commodities face, my firing pin doesn't even reach the edge of the case - so that's something else to consider. Centerfires all hit center - rimfires don't, and the rim is considerably larger diameter on the 17WSM, so you'd have to recreate the unabridged commodities, not even just open up the bolt face. Retrieve - you lot're not talking nigh a 38spcl case getting stretched to 357mag or necking upwards. Yous're talking about a 243win case getting blown up to a 300 win mag case necked down to the same bullet dia. The WSM is a larger diameter and longer case entirely. If you lot drilled out the base of a 17WSM, a loaded 17HMR cartridge would fit fully inside of the 17WSM case. Edited by Varminterror (03/29/15 12:42 PM) _________________________ Conservationalist?

PM senior Registered: 07/31/05 Posts: 8802 Loc: USA	Today I looked at a box of Winchester 17 WSM 25 grain bullets at Bass Pro. That's the commencement fourth dimension I accept really looked at them. They are a neat looking round for sure. Would exist nice if other gun manufacturers will climb on board and produce some nice rifles in that cartridge. I think information technology has the makings of a fine play a trick on cartridge, though time volition tell.

Aught really, unless information technology turns out to exist more fur friendly on smaller critters, similar flim-flam, which I suspect (without nonetheless knowing) that it will. The velocity is definitely less than the .17 Hornet. I do know that my .17 Remington blows gaping holes in them at times. As well, the cartridge is something new, something else to play with. For me at least, that'due south good plenty. I get bored using the same thing all the time.

PM senior Registered: 07/31/05 Posts: 8802 Loc: USA	If lower velocity is all thats driving it...why not download 17 Hornet? Well, read my terminal sentence for starters, and in that location are more reasons too. Open your mind and call back out of the box. Velocity is not all that's driving it. Consider that non everyone handloads, and then how tin can they down load it? And so besides, for me, I would have to purchase a Hornet just so I could downward load it. I already have a 17 Remington, and I can load it down to Hornet velocities, but would be very difficult pressed to get velocities downwards to WSM. And so besides, I like rimfires. My suggestion for those guys like you, is to load down 17 Hornets, that is, for those that take them and that handload, and for those who want to go to the trouble of it, and for the residual of u.s. that like something new, different and innovative, to try the 17 WSM for the joy of it. That should make information technology easier for everyone since i size doesn't fit all.

Die Difficult Fellow member Registered: 01/17/07 Posts: 913 Loc: The promised land - Iowa	I use my .17 WSM for daytime coon calling. It is fast activeness ,in heavy cover , weeds , leaves , snowfall ,ect. and finding contumely would be almost not existent. So if I was shooting a .17 hornet the cost of replacing all of my brass would be quite expensive on meridian of everything else....and more power would give me pass throughs and fur harm I am avoiding at present.
