Thread: A Weihrauch in 17hmr

I enjoyed the 17 HMR when it arrived here but quickly discovered how inaccurate they can be, the final roll crimp during ammo manufacture making some ammo out of round.

Once you measure and sort the ammo for best concentricity you usually end up with excellent accuracy, -longest shot was a lone rabbit at Matapiro, hit at 338yrds (easy distance to remember )

Remington 504T LSHB



From there i progressed to the HM2, but the ammo often had the same concentricity problem AND another neat feature
the earlier batches of HM2 ammo would split at the case rim giving you a hell of a fright and made your ears ring, I tried to buy later batches of ammo where possible and that fixed the problem.

1955 BSA Century sleeved to 17 with a HM2 chamber



Years rolled before I started using my .22 again, a Rem 541T, plenty accurate enough and cheap to run.

Now I have my eye on a Finnfire, not sure how I'm going to use it without Tussock finding out
