Groundhog Snipin! ~17 Squirrel~

View attachment 1670395
22 hornet, Hornet cut down, 22 Fox Squirrel fireformed and loaded 22 Fox Squirrel!

My good Friend thats no longer with us Mr. Howard Farris came up with the 22 Fox Squirrel cartridge.

My load was 9.4 gr of Ramshot Enforcer with 40 gr bullet at 2850 fps
Good looking case design. I've got the 17 and 20 Mink but never did the 22 Mink although I have the reamer. I have Squirrel and Mink head space gauges so I can use the same reamers for both cases. I promised myself no wildcats but my new CZ Hornet action I have put back is starting to talk to me.
 
You guys that have the 17 squirrels were did you source your FL sizing die?
Hornady did mine, back when Lonnie was there. Not sure if this is legal to say but around 1 Aug there will be a Neil Jones forming and sizing die set for the17 Squirrel at Redding Auction Site. Delete this if wrong to post

Any chance you'd rent or sell that 22 mink reamer @rayh ?
 
Thinking back to when I used to reload for the 5mm Craig in the 10 inch contender I liked AA9 about 5 grains. Definitely not apples to oranges but it's quicker than h110 and 1680.Enforcer is right there close to AA9 what have you tried so far Aaron?

17 Squirrel Douglas 9 Twist bbl
20 gr Vmax at 3400 fps!

With 7.4 grains in each round a one pound can of powder provides me with lots of shooting and enjoyment!

It seems like whatever you are shooting or have had built, I really like. I have a .223 Rem. CZ 527 American LH that I have not fired. Seeing your posting makes me really want to shoot it, but in the last couple of years, shooting time has been really limited.
