The issues I have with the 17 gr are with my 10 shot Savage semi auto,the 17 gr fails to recycle the action on occasion,never with the 20 gr

17 gr in the bolt savage,20 gr in the semi auto

I’ve addressed Savage with my issue,they of course say it shouldn’t be an issue(liability maybe)but on several gun forums I frequent,others have had the same results,with the 17gr in the semi autos

I just ordered the Rock River arms 17 HMR on an AR platform semi auto… hopefully that won’t be an issue(they say it’s not)

Thats why CCI manufactured specifically the A17 ammo for your exact rifle... printed on the box, its 100fps faster than most of the other ammo, designed to cycle the semi auto action... I'm almost out of that brick - works great in the CZ457 - however after more testing with MANY differing weights and types, CCI, Hornady and Winchester varieties - found the Hornady XTP is about touching at 100 - so theres my next lot when the A17 runs out.
