Thread: Quality of 17 HMR ammo

The picture’s just for fun
I was practicing sitting unsupported.

But, yeah in an ideal world we’d check each new batch at a short range where no wind is a play and a long range for trajectory. And after falling over on your rifle so I dont want to chop and change too much, specially if V-Max is going out of production. Best policy is to buy heaps of the same batch in one go but 1000 HMR is more like a major capital expense, not within quarterly budget plans. Looking for advice which one to try next; I dont want to test several sorts.

specially if V-Max is going out of production. ?????

Quick google and yes the Yamaha Vmax is gone out of production 2020.
...also was talk of hornady had discontinued and replaced certain weight and calibre types of the vmax projectiles in the past. The only new range of bullets on their web site is "Match type" for 2025.
