Thread: 17hmr faulty ammo

Hi, I have just had exactly the same problem. Hornady V-Max ammo, which did not look old or crappy. First round lodged in the barrel, and without realising what had happened, second round was fired. Result, second round stuck in the barrel, a totally stuffed magazine (disintegrated!) laminated stock that cracked. Positioner clip on the bolt slightly bent open. Fortunately no injuries, apart from ringing in the ears (now settled) and one massive fright. Now I need a replacement stock, preferably wooden one, and replacement positioner spring. Anybody out there that can advise where I can get the spares? And, oh, how do I remove the two rounds in the barrel?????

No way, tell the Hornady distributor and they'll replace the gun for you @Ockie.
