Thread: .17 HMR blow up

On the change barrel cz rifles if there is any bulge on the head of a fired case I
Have given the barrel shoulder a skim in the lathe to tighten up the headspace
To more minimum specs
but all of the 17 rifles I have had through the door
90% have let go due to hornady Winchester or browning ammo

Cci or federal is better but have seen squibs from all manufacturers
If the stuck projectile is 5” back from the muzzle can usually
Get the projectile out and save the barrel and retain accuracy
Got a Sako quad barrel from a customer that was saved the first time
Using grease and 1/2x20 adapter but the second time it was stuffed
