apbuild Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi guy's, Since buying my .17 hmr, I have always shot Remington 17grains through it with absolutely great results. I have now been give a box of Hornady 'Varmint Express', 17 grains and a box of CCI 'Gamepoint' 20 grains to try out. Has anyone got any information on these two new rounds that I have been given? Before anyone gives the comment, 'If you have good results with Remingtons, why change?', I am still curious as to these different rounds as I do a great deal of rabbit control on a local golf course and I am wondering as to the difference in these rounds for the job. I am aware that certain rounds will perform well through different rifles. Cheers. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Just bought some CCI 17grn in TNT. This is a true hollow point and seems pretty accurate in my CZ. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'm not entirley sure but I have heard that the Rmmingtons are made by Hornady, so there shouldnt be any difference. I have been using the remmingtons and havent had any problems bar 1 missfire. Before that I used Federal cartridge .17HMR which I rate very highy, the only reason I have switched to Rems for now, is that I have a supplier very close to me. They also do CCI but I won't use them out of principal that thier .22LR is useless. As for HP well I havent found I need it yet as the V-MAx is both very accurate and good enough on Fox at the ranges I shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
