17 HM2 RimX

[Browninglover1]

I had so much fun with my recent 17 HMR purchase, that when I found a 17 HM2 barrel for my RimX I knew I had to try it out.

It took just a few minutes to take off my 22lr barrel and install this new Lothar Walther 17 HM2 prefit. I screwed on my KGM RF22 suppressor and she was ready for the range.

After a slight feeding hiccup in the first magazine, it seemed to run great for the next 60-70 rounds. I took it out to 100 yards and these are the results. Three groups in a row at under 0.7 MOA and a 10-shot group under an inch. To say I'm pleased is an understatement for a $350 barrel and $8.50/box ammo.

How well do the 17 HM2 rounds feed from the 22lr mag, or was a mag change needed?

Same mag. The first mag I tried was a failure with rounds shooting out the top of the action, after that first mag it has run really well. I have 150 rounds through it with probably 1-2 failures to feed.

Looks good, 17 Mach 2 was the best thing that happened to my small game hunting. It gets a lot of grief for not having match grade ammo, but I've never had a 22lr round that do cleanly killed small game.

Yours looks like a deadly combo.
