  5. .17 remington fireball problems

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Posted

    I am with Redgum,Garyb and YDP on this. It could be a lot of things and one thing I am sure about is that PROPER cleaning technique is critical with fast steppers like the Fireball. I have heard of some that think a couple passes with Hoppes takes all the copper out. Dream on!! I would have someone scope the barrel before even thinking about replacing it. It could be dirty and need a little JB paste. Remember the rifling on the .17 is only .0015 compared to .003 for the .22 centerfires.It doesn't take much to foul it, and factory barrels aren't famous for their interior lapping.

    The first thing I would do is stick a proven scope on the gun and shoot it on the bench. You have just either confirmed or ruled out my first suspicion. A lot number change in powder can affect velocity but unless he's way off the edge on harmonics it should not affect accuracy that much.

    One last thought, does he shoot it off the bench much or just hunt with it? You can take the throat out of a .17 in a warm afternoon of constant firing without regard to barrel temp. When the throat leaves the accuracy usually follows it.

    Thanks for the advice i will pass it on to him

    You know alot about your mates rifle :lol: It could be a million things barrel crown,barrel touching stock, shooting technique, scopes, maybe he's doing something differant with his reloading, is he consistent with his reloading regime etc,etc etc. Its a process of elimination I'm afraid,just had exactly the same with my remmy 700 243 and homeloads,shoots very well then groups open out. Couldnt work it out until I changed the scope, the eyebox on the scope was faulty and moving about, but it took me ages checking everything over before sorted,even a new stock.

    he has also tried a new accuracy international stock on his to no effect.the bloke is a very good shoot and uses the same reloading techniques,think a last resort will be a new barrel i think

    Hello all the bloke i shoot with has a .17 fireball which he is having trouble with ,a few weeks ago it was grouping on a 5 pence but lately the groups are very inconsistant they are anywhere from a 5 pence to a inch and a half,he is not a user of pigeon watch and i know little about home loading,but he has home loaded for his 204 ruger for a few years which shoots spot on,so if anyone has any experience with .17 fireballs it would be good to hear from you, thanks chris
