.17 HMR - fps all over the place

If anyone has seen my varmint posts here over the last few years you’ll know that most of my varmint kills last 2-3 years has been with a .17 hmr . 17 grain Vam CCI fps on box is 2550.
have a case -500 rounds bought pre Covid lot number ending in 049.
The rifle is a a budget Savage 93R17. A budget rifle but accurate and dependable and I don’t cry when it gets bounced on a tractor or in a truck bed .

Anyhow over years I’ve have at various times chrono’d this load - 2550 is box muzzle velocity- I’ve routinely got fps as high as 2730- almost always above 2550, almost always above 2650. A 100 fps gain is a good thing - and some rifles I’ve heard can be slightly faster than others whatever .
The problem arises in the lows 2410 is the lowest I’ve actually chronographed in this lot .
This accounts for - 3-4 stellar accurate shots and then a fifth shot can be a complete miss .
I know CCI loads nearly very one’s flavor of .17 or at least their own , federalist and Hornady and Remingtons .
Winchester/Browning iOS made by Winchester according to some .
PMC and Sellier and Bellot also load .17 but I have never seen any .
Anyone run a flavor of .17 that doesn’t have a possible 300 something fps variation possible in a single box ?
Or is this just the nature of rimfire?

First one of the year

IMG_3008.jpeg
First one of the year - inside 20 yards on the a wood pile I didn't get around to cutting . 17hmr

Shot another one as well down by the creek- it got back in its hole but left lots of blood and hair behind .

Saw a third - a huge one but was slightly uphill from me and cows behind it so I cut east to get around it and when I came up the other side it was gone .

Damn I miss this all winter long

SOLD Steiner t6xi 5-30x56 MSR2 LNIB

Nearly new steiner t6xi 3-30x56 with MSR2 reticle, awesome scope with amazing glass and nice reticle. I have tracked this thing out to 1500y and it's spot on, the turrets are very repeatable. The glass on these is premium and stacks up with my Element Theos and ATACR, very sharp with good pop, the glass is really above it's weight class. This one is super clean and without a scratch, no ring marks, glass and turrets are perfect. Nearest to new you will find. I'd love to keep it but can't justify doing so. Lifetime transferable warranty. Comes with Tenebrex covers and all the original goodies.

Best Harris Bipod Rail Mount Adapters?

Looking for some advice and opinions of the best rail mounts for Harris BRM-S. I see that the LaRue seems to be very popular but it doesn’t look like it has the option of rotating for target following. Harris makes a rail mount that does rotate. I want the mount to rotate in conjunction with the BRM-S being able to swivel but would like to know what else is out there that others may be using.
