Dave-G Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 3 minutes ago, Rimfireboy said: True. The A17’s can be used in bolt guns. They achieve higher velocities in a bolt gun than they do in a semi auto according to a review I read. I recently bought some, but haven’t given them a try yet. Would you post on this forum when you have tried them please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, I’ll put a few over the chrono as well, although my barrel is only 15”. Most 17 grain bullets run at about 2470-2500 in my 15” barrel so it will be interesting to see how much faster the A17’s are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Pigeon Shredder. said: Can l ask why you come across with your last statement regarding ammo to rifle specific. This cartridge has been fired very successfully in HMR bolt action rifles, mine included. lts a very accurate round. It was meant tongue in cheek, hence the winking emoji (but humour can be lost on forums/internet)... because the round was originally designed (specifically) for the A17 rifle. It is, ofcourse, suitable for use in any .17HMR rifle ? Edited January 6, 2018 by Harry Callahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at my post ‘HMR speed test 15” barrel.’ Not tried them for accuracy yet, but they were the fastest of the six I tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying it has a thinner jacket than the VMax, so more explosive. We'll do more on it in about a week, when we have some ammo. Not seen or heard anything from Eric Mayer on this subject, in fact this is the only post made so very quiet indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
