    CCI A17 has gone AWOL

    Has anyone seen stock of CCI A17 anywhere? I still have a few boxes left but definitely keen to stock up on a few bricks as it certainly seems to be the best ammo for my Savage A17.

    Its been a year at least since I have seen it for sale in NZ.

    Haven't seen it down chch way for a while.
    Probably worth trying the CCi VNT version if you haven't already, it's the closest option to A17. Looks like GC Napier and Reloaders still have VNT in stock.

    Ask the guys selling it, they should know.

    I'm pretty sure the a17 stuff is a little hotter so that it cycles the action properly.

    I believe the A17 is specifically designed to be okay there, due to the delayed blowback action.
