snarepeg Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Had a cartridge blow the rim yesterday, zeroing in first shot to right, second shot smoke out of breech and magazine. Checked barrel and clear(it had actually hit the same hole as first shot) but the rim had split part way round,, Savage varminter stainless rifle.

kenj Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I had a lot of trouble with Remington V-max .17, split cases and a couple of jams, smoke out of the breech, etc. I had 30 rounds left from a batch of 250 and went through them with a magnifying glass and found another four with cracks before firing. All Remington and Hornady .17 are made at the CCI factory I'm told, so it seems to be a factory problem that will continue. The full story of mine is on my blog. http://www.urbanfieldsportsman.com/index.php/17-hmr-bullets-jammed-in-the-barrel-on-cz452-rifle-with-remington-ammo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alendil Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 i never have any problems with any hornady .17hmr and no not all 17 hmr are loaded in CCI factory. on top of that its quite old problem and by now old stock of ammo with split neck is runing low or all gone by now. just return faulty box to deeler and get him to replace it with diefrent batch nr.

alendil Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 i do have my .17 since about 16 months shot about 1000 rounds and didnt have single problem with it. its superb round for bunnys up to 150m and love it. i do use it as much as .22 LR and .22 Hornet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie223 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I had an experience with my hmr a few weeks ago. The mag exploded duevto dodgy hornady ammo.i had a new mag and I tried it out down the range this morning. I will use the rest of my ammo and then change to Winchester. Had the hmr for a few years and I love it.so even tho I had an exolosive issue I'll still keep it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deiseboy Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Had a CCI round blow out the end of the case and had gas and dirt hit me in the face and left me with a ring in my ear for the rest of the day the bang off it was so bad.. Use federals now and find them the most accurate in my rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
