That would be awesome in a 1885 platform. Has anything been made to shoot it yet?
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

How does it compare to the 17 Hornet?

It should cost a lot less to shoot. They say a box of 50 will go for around $15 compared to $18-$20 for 25 of the 17 hornet. I would guess that most magazines would hold an extra round or two over the 17 hornet as well.

I'll be interested in how loud the report is....  one thing I really like about the .17 Hummer is that its still fairly quiet.  I don't really shoot my .17 farther than 100 yds either.  I have a .204 for that.  Still, this Super Mag could be a sweet little shooter.
take em!
