    17hmr Match Grade ammo

    which is amazingly why the whole petition was started - to respond to CCI's stating that if there was enough interest they would put some time and energy into the developement of a match grade round! That's where the petition is headed once it gets a good sized batch of signatures attached...

    17hmr Match Grade ammo

    softcock, while i appreciate your bias against the 17hmr and for the 22lr but again i'll ask you - what's so wrong in wanting a better quality of ammunition to be produced for what is such a widely accepted rimfire cartridge?

    17hmr Match Grade ammo

    another forum i frequent a discussion was started about Match Grade 17hmr ammo. Long and short several manufacturers (including CCI the primary 17 hmr producer for several brands) were contacted about it.

    do you shoot .308 FACTORY ammo out of your 7.62x51 chamber semi-auto?

    yes. my LR308 chambered in 7.62x51 nato has no problem with it. I dont hesitate to stuff .308 or 7.62x51 into it and run. Mine seems to like Hornady 168gr AMAX Match as its best factory load so far and will consistently shoot 3/4" 100 yd groups Its pretty happy with winchester 180g power...
