Hi TREEDOG,

I was hoping that Hornady would bring out a load with their 25grain bullet for the .17HMR. CCI has had a 20grain hollowpoint out for nearly as long as Hornady had their 17grain bullet. I think Hornady already has a 25grain that's designed for their .17 Remington cartridge. That bullet would probably not expand at .17HMR velocities......so they most likely didn't want to have to redevelope it and then carry two of the same weight with different performance characteristics.

But it is interesting to see what other developments come from it!
