Has anyone had a shot with winchesters new caliber ? Anyone know of ammo availability ? I see the savage version is now in Australia. Any thoughts, comments ?

I am interested but not in the bmag. There is a school of though to just buy the hornet as its faster & can be reloaded for those that want to. But really a fox won't be able to tell the difference, dead is dead.

There was a bit of buzz on these a while ago from what I was reading, but after the initial exciting it seems to have just dropped away and I haven't seen anyone with one.

Not many actually getting them I guess?

Can't say I'm running out to get one either.

Doesn't really do anything over the existing rimfire calibres for me I guess?

One thing Winchester don't do well is market there product. Compared to the likes of hornady, crappington, & the rest they are well behind.

Remington must spend a fortune in marketing.

Anything shooting related is sprawled with their ads.

Thanks for the input guys .... I'll be waiting until it's offered in more than the BMag and ammo is more available until I make the decision I guess

I was just on gunbroker.com & that's all the 17wsm comes in at the moment. If you did go the way of the hornet at least you can head down the road of the cz.

Can't say I've seen hide nor hair of any ammo at this stage?
