AndyCM Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 The last time I used the .17hmr I missed a few So a good check over, all ok, a clean - it has been a while and then a target session. + I had picked up a few boxes of the S&B 17g's (at £6.75 a box ), so they were the rounds to go with. Went out to 50 yards (and expecting / wanting to be 1/4 inch high to be "on" at 100 yards). The target was shot clockwise from top left finishing with the central +. All were three shot groups off the bipod at maximum magnification (except lower left + which was at x6). I did not need to adjust the scope at all (set for gold tips before - remington's). The S&B's - despite looking a bit rough around the edges - worked great. We like the green tips They do come in a cheapie cardboard box, so I transferred them into a decent (CCI plastic) box which will last field conditions. Where them Bunny's Cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 you can't really argue with results like that. Its a funny thing when it becomes rare to miss and when you do you wonder whats wrong, Makes the HMR great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCM Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi Fister, All at 50 yards - too much long grass about (I'd have been clipping it & would have needed to get the lawn mower out first for any 100 yard shots) Cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I am trying to get my local supplier to get some S&B's, its looking hopeful as they mentioned trying the shotgun cartridges and loved them. Just picked up another 500 Remmingtons today at 8.50 a box so the S&B's would be a good saving. Where did you get yours Andy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
