17hmr 50yd & 100yd Club

I'm very new to the 17hmr's and but would like to propose a fun shoot for the
17hmr shooters like the .22 guys have with less groups with the cost of ammo being considered.

Game #1 50 yards for 17hmr & 17hm2

Here are the rules:

1. Any 17hmr or 17hm2 rifle with any sights or scope
2. 50yards from rifle to target indoors or outdoors
3. 2, 5 shot groups on one target, add the two together and divide by 2 for
the average, if the average size is .300" or less makes the club
4. One of the targets below must be used to participate.
5.2 single shots per target need to be shot to determine bullet diameter
6. Groups are figured by measuring outside to outside and subtracting the bullet diameter (avg of the two single shots)

Let the fun begin. :AR15firin

Game #2 100 yards for 17hmr & 17hm2

Here are the rules:

1. Any 17hmr or 17hm2
2. 100 yards from rifle to target
3. Any stock, Any scope, Any sights
4.2, 4 shot groups, measured outside to outside and subtracting the bullet diameter (avg of the two single shots)
5. Average for the 2 groups= 1.00" or less and your in the CLUB
6. One of the targets below must be used to participate

GOOD LUCK! I'll keep a second list of the 100 yard CLUB members.

Another Target that can be used is below. The cross hairs are slightly thicker, and the "square" is "1 inch" for reference while shooting the 1.00" or less groups for the 100 yard club. Just another option for you.

Well I tried today after work and I need to keep trying. I never said this was going to be easy.

Target #1 avg 1.02"
Target #2 avg .800"
Target #3 avg .544"
Target #4 avg .548"

This brings the total # of rounds to 80 for this rifle, not making excuses, just stating facts.

52 degrees, slight breeze, sunny
Ammo used Winchester 17gr V-Max, best group was .446"
Savage 93 with Boyds Evolution stock & Mueller 8-5-25x44 scope
Coldwell front & rear bags

After one of the very first groups I ever fired out of my HM2 at 50 yards turned out like this, I never bothered measuring them:


After subsequent ammo testing, bedding and tuning tightened that up some I thought 50 yards with it seemed kind of silly. Don't know what it measures, but I am guessing well within. .300" CTC.

Great group, but it might be bigger than one would imagine. Here is another with a dime as reference, measured .415" out to out.



I tried to make the club today, but was unsuccessful. I need a better rest, and less wind! Plus.3" is a small group, for my fat hinney anyway! I will get there, just not there yet!

here is my entry,



and the gun, savage 93R17



just mounted the scope, haven't shot it in a while and had a bit of a prob, the
scope was way off, lol, used CCI TNT h.p.

that was fun, but hope i did the math right; took the avg of the two singles
and subtracted that from each overall group and divided that by two for an o'all avg.
if i did an oops, i'll delete the post. LMK,

thanks,

rico....

Nice job

Great looking gun and awesome groups! I have a similar Savage but I have the factory thumb hole stock and it is nice but not as pretty as yours. I hope to get another Savage in the mix as soon as our 15 - 25 mph winds die down this coming weekend. Again, very nice work.

LOL, thanks, s&w, just wanted to make sure. your rules didn't say anything about deducting the singles, but since the the small x-hairs were there, i figgered that was how it was done like a few other places, lol,

BTW, wasn't very easy. had to wait till the wind kinda died down a bit, but
luckily it normally comes from my back.

what's nxt? 3/4" @ 100 yds?? OUCH,

thanks again for the game,

rico....
