I've seen that happen with 17 HMR and 243 WSSM and the only thing I can sum up is just flat out bad brass and the WSSM brass was almost grainy lookingNot long range,but looking for experience with.17HMR
Removed this Marlin 917?…from my safe and have split necks on factory ammo
Posting pics although I am not good at photos
Any explanation for this would be helpful
Thanks VINCEMULEover size chamber
metallurgy on the brass too brittle to expand
undersize brass
You maybe forced to keep the chamber clean and use the ammo up.
So this makes me question all the time I spend on bullet seating depth
I realize this is a 17 hmr but I could barely see the bullet as I had jammed the bullet inside the shell
Any explanation?
Well this interesting mine shoots federal and Remington the best hates cci and Hornady! They all are the same tipped 17 grain bullets strange?Picked up Tikka 17HMR this Spring, researching the ammo found out that CCI makes all of the 17 HMR ammo for everybody.
