This 17HMR shortage is really starting to piss me off!

[adancingmonkey]

Well 22LR seems to be all over the place now, at least in Winnipeg, the prices aren't great but that is life. But 17HMR is hard to find and when you do there is poor selection and the prices are all over the place!

I hear ya on this one. I just ordered some a17 from Cabelas to top me up.

We have a great selection of 17 hmr ammunition with four brands in stock, prices start at $18 per box. We are able to ship as well.

thanks P&D, but i think he was after the 17hmr, i have a ton of 22, as do a lot of shooters, but i`m also sadly lacking on the 17hmr, my kids discovered them and like them better...sniff sniff lol

 

[TargetGuy]

Hmr is plentiful around here.
Just after I sold mine. Lol

 

[hoytcanon]

I tried the new A17 stuff, but it shoots very poorly from my 455. like 2.5 inches at 75 yards.

Hope my Marlin 917 likes it~I bought 2 boxes of the stuff.

That's 3.3 moa it has to do better than that???

 

[TargetGuy]

Yeah my savage fvsr 17 didn't do well with the a17 ammo either.
Couldn't group it worth a dang.

 

[adancingmonkey]

I am not a great shooter by any means, but I was putting remmington premium 17hmr through a ragged 3/4inch hole, and hornady 17gr vmax was close behind. The a17 was really that bad out of the gun. It was a cz455 with the varmint barrel.

Really? I'll see how it goes for me. I know it's pretty pricey.

I had stockpiled a bunch with intentions of shooting a lot more than I have been this year. Unfortunately, work gets in the way......

Any .22 Magnum ammunition in stock?.

 

[burnaby]

That's why you don't shoot oddball, expensive, non reloadable cartridges. FlameSuit ON

 

[gunzik]

No such thing as a non-reloadable cartridge!

Epps sold a .22 LR reloading kit last month (I missed it, $80!) and if I could just remember the maker's name, I'd check to see what other rimfire cartridges they make loading kits for.

I think it was this one: http:[remove this]//22lrreloader.com/design-details/

Most of the rimfire ammunition at the Little Big Horn was reloaded. Apparently it worked really well, the Sioux had been cut off from ammunition supplies quite some time prior to the battle, and just pounded out the firing pin dent with a nail head, mixed match heads and ground glass into a slurry around the edge of the rim, topped it up with black powder and a ball ... and the Cavalrymen couldn't tell the difference.

Always has been hmr around here when I am out.

Oops. Fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out.
