Was in a shooting mood so rounded up some stick on targets and set them up on my 100 yard line.


The rifle in question is a Savage 93R17 BRJ. Spiral fluted heavy barrel, accutrigger.

This guy.

All shots were taken on bipod. No rear support from the hood of a truck due to the rough terrain. Ammo is Winchester 17Gr. 17HMR at 2550 fps. Dimensions given are overall outside. I believe you would minus the diameter of 1 round to get center to center. In this case. 0.172"

Fired a cold bore sighter shot to check zero then fired a 10 shot group.

All in all a lot of fun. Sorry for picture quality. They were taken with an Iphone. My good camera is on loan this weekend.
 
Re: Savage 17HMR range time

I have savage 17hmr also. I have found that if you weight the rounds and separate them to the tenth of a grain your accuracy will improve greatly! My best target on the rimfire 100yrd went to a 23x count after sorting ammo. Rthur
