Has anyone tried the A17 offering from CCI?

Cheers

Yes, and put them over chrono. To my surprise, they actually were 100 FPS faster than most of the others I’ve chrono’d. No difference in accuracy in my cz. It likes them all but  not Winchester.

Many thanks. It was the accuracy that I was after. You shouldn't have been too surprised though as their advertised figure is 100 ft/sec above all (most) others. I no longer have mine, just helping a mate out. Could I ask where you get them from?

Edit: Apologies, just re-read your post and this time paid more attention to the "actually"

Proper job. :good:I tripped over them while looking for something for the new 22Mag' and ran them on the comparison trajectory facility on Sierra and called matey. He took one look and has placed a back order for before end of June. I also got lucky, finding a bucketful of Remington Premier 33gr. Don't know if there'll be any more in the circumstances. Consequently, the guy has questioned his supplier about the availability of the A 22s but I'm not holding my breath.

Just as well. Someone - UK importers perhaps? - up the supply chain made it financially unviable for the RFD. Shame.
