Just looking for inputs. I have a 77/17wsm that shoots very well, but I am not confident that the wsm will survive. Even with building up a stockpile of ammo, I wonder if I wouldn't be better off converting the rifle to the 17 Hornet that shares the same receiver. Question is, is it simply a bolt and barrel change? Will Ruger even sell the bolts separately?
BTW, I know the easy answer is probably to sell the wsm and pick up a Hornet elsewhere, but after having the barrel cut and threaded, and all the ammo I've built up, I'm already invested in this thing more than I would get out of it.
