The .17 Hornet is a .17 caliber centerfire rifle cartridge originally offered as a "wildcat cartridge" made by P.O. Ackley in the early 1950s. He created this non-factory (wildcat) offering by simply necking-down the .22 Hornet to .17 caliber and fire-forming the resized cases in his new chamber design. The result was a small quiet cartridge capable of high velocity. Hornady Manufacturing Company (Grand Island, Nebraska, USA) has taken Ackley's idea into a commercial product with a similar cartridge; the 17 Hornady Hornet uses a 20 grain (1.3 gram) "Superformance" V-max projectile at a published velocity of 3650fps (1113 metre/second). Hornady's standard has a shorter body with less taper and shorter overall case length while the overall loaded length remains that of the original .22 Hornet (in order to fit the standard Hornet Magazines). There are few different manufacturers, but Hornady is among the leaders for 17 Hornet with their 20 Grain V-Max round.
