I just called and bought 1000 to go with a Tikka that hopeefully shows up at your store soon. Could use another 1000 rounds...

Just made a purchase at Tenda now as well. Thanks for the heads up everyone.

My experience hasn't been very good with the TNT ammo. Not as accurate as regular CCI 17 grain pills.
Mind you this is just two boxes (100 rounds) worth of shooting through a savage 93R17BTV.

 

[albertacoyotecaller]

I am hoping for more splat effect over accuracy. What kind of accuracy where you getting?

When I had a 93 mine shot federal tnt better then cci and hornady very well.
My cz 452 shoots the tnt very well as well as pretty much anything offered from cci, hornady, federal. The a17 shoots the worst of the bunch.

In my 2 hmr's the tnt can launch them off the ground if you hit em in the right place.

There's no problem finding ammunition - just cant be lazy about doing it and of course bring money...

If you don't hit them, there is no splat. I find that the 17gr v-max splats ground squirrels just fine to about 150 yards, after that, the 17 hornet makes a lot more mess. I tried four different loads in my Cooper, and the CCI with 17gr v-max, and the Remington 17gr load are the most accurate in my rifle, with Hornady the least accurate. The A-17 loads rupture the case where the firing pin strikes, about 20% of the time.

I've yet to see good results in my own shooting with A17 ammo in bolt actions, which is disappointing because the extra velocity would be a nice bonus.

My HMR likes the 17g Hornady just fine, but likes the 16g CCI "green" TNT the absolute best. I bought a bunch from WSS when they had one of their ammo sales. Would have bought more if I had known that WSS was about to shut it's doors.

1" groups at 100 yards with a 4-14x Bushnell scope at 12x. Regular CCI 17 grain ammo was 5/8"-3/4" groups. 20 grain was about 1.5-1.75". All from the bench, using a front rest (not bipod) and no rear bag or rest.

I just picked up 2500 rounds of 17gr hornady 17 hmr from Swamp Donkey Outdoors, $840 taxes in.
