17 HMR Ammo Test - 100 Yard Groups 

I shoot more .22 LR because its cheap, but I really enjoy shooting 17 HMR!

Absolutely love my 17HMR, I'd use it exclusively for Rabbits and Squirrels if it weren't so loud. But for long range Rabbit control I wouldn't look elsewhere it's the perfect calibre! But inside 100 yards I'll use my 22LR to keep the noise down.

The .17WSM? Yeah

@@Hammerback972 I had 3 boxes of 50 of 17 WSM for quite a few years i bought by mistake when first getting my hmr. Then I couldn’t find a 17 wsm or any more bullets so i traded them in… BUT those rounds were MEAN. For rimfire only hunting situations that gun would be a mini .223. I guarantee you could smoke a deer with it.

@@LoveEncoded8videos on RU-vid of the WSM taking deer, pretty bad ass, you messed up should have just bought another gun in the 17WSM!

I agree

fully agree, best way of knowing which the rifle digests well

They have thier ways just like people...😎

Both of my Savage 93's in 17 hmr like Hornady . My Ruger only shoots CCI

@@chrisaerts6489 same results with my Savage, it prefers Hornady

😆😆😆

I help people out every day. Literally. Because no one ever helped me and I know how it is. It honestly feels like it is growing slowly 😆. Been doing this for over 5 years now.

@@WHOTEEWHO I've been watching since around 300k. It seems like your rate of growth is pretty quick. I mean it will never be quickly enough if you factor in the time and effort going into each video. But from the outside looking in.... You're growing fast. I wish my channel was even close to your growth. lol.

@@WHOTEEWHO Let me as you a question. Pls give me a honest answer. My channel is just below 2k in 8 months. I think that's pretty good. But what is your thoughts on that number?

@@TherapyRange I'd say that is very good. Took me 18 months to hit 1,000 subs. Easier to message me on IG and FB

@@WHOTEEWHO Just liked the FB. page. Will share it with my followers. I'm honestly happy to even get to talk to you. Most of the bigger YT'ers on here refuse to communicate with the lower level people. Have a blessed day buddy.

Ole English Outfitters has some.

@@mattkissmyasstyrants8676 never heard of it. Guessing I'm a long ways from there.

I've taken groundhogs at up to 150 or 160 with my 17hmr. Such a nice round!

I've shot several thousand PDogs with mine. The trick is to be out at sunrise when the wind is dead calm. Once the wind gets strong the 200+ yard one-shot kills can be difficult.

What gun are you guys using and what bullet weight have given you the best accuracy?

@@paulshayter1113 I tried lots of different ammo in my Anschutz 1727. It loves the CCI TNT and will consistently shoot half inch 4-shot groups at 100 yards. Five consecutive groups measured .35 .36 .65 .72 .56 CTC. Three of the groups could be covered with a dime. Hornady VMax are a close second. The 17HMR is very accurate but very sensitive to the wind. The trick is to send the rounds down range as fast as possible before the wind changes. The Fortner actions lets me send the 4 rounds downrange before I take a second breath. I was shooting prone with a bipod and a rear leather bag. I also tested a Savage 93 17hmr. The groups weren't as tight and it preferred the Hornady VMax. I always plan my hunts so the wind is at my 6:00.

@@paulshayter1113 the rifle i use is a Savage 93r17 with a heavy fluted barrel. My rifle loves the Hornady 17 gr V-Max. My setup with the 17 gr V-max will consistently hold .65" groups. Wind definitely plays a factor. Its a fast round, but so light that the wind will move it quite easily.

Awesome! I love it

Thanks for watching Danny

Thanks for watching!

I am moving from a marlin 22mag to a new age cz457 17hmr, wow what a difference in quality.. None of that using 10/22 trigger spring crap lol

Very nice

Absolutely

Back for another watch and wondering what the cost is for these. Walmart has 200 round boxes of a17 cci vmax for 69$. I paid 25 at a small store so im seeing 34¢-50¢ per round. Yikes

🙏🙏🙏

How do you like the a17? Been contemplating buying one and not sure. Been shooting a savage 93 for as long as I can remember haha

@@speedybeak I love my a17, it has been great with no issues and is so accurate it can make anyone look like an expert marksman. It will run any of the ammo except for the Winchester stuff

I agree

Thanks for watching

Same here... Ruger American 17hmr in Go Wild Camo.... itching to try her out. I have about 1300 rounds of various makes. Will report back.

Great idea!

hornady xtp and cci gamepoint are same bullet but small diffrerence in gunpowder to make it work in different gun.

@@Kesssuli I figured but from what I can tell the XTP seems to be more common on shelves than the CCI game points. However I’m having a hard time finding either. V-Max is everywhere though loaded by both

Appreciate you watching Mark
