i bought a box today at the gun show here in town... not a bad price 16.00 dollars for 50.. gonna try it out and see if there is any difference or not

 

Whats the headstamp on the round?

 

Federal is in the same family as CCI, and Hornady stuff coming out soon? Now I'm getting interested, just need somebody to make a nicer rifle and I might get in on one.

 

"F" is the head stamp

 

Thanks. No chance it was really an E?

 

Picked up some AE 17wsm today and it puts the winchester stuff to shame. Shot 1" groups all day

 

Saw some today at Sportsman's Warehouse in Mesa, AZ.

 

Lots of F AE 17 WSM at the local show today. $15.00 box. I picked up one box for my collection of .17 caliber stuff. It had been way too costly to buy until the last few weeks when a new supply hit the market.

I'd be interested for someone to run this through a chrony and compare it to the Winchester stuff to see if it's an better consistency.

 

Finally got my hands on some Federal ammo. Every shot was a flyer with no rhyme or reason to direction. Dirt flying up in every direction.

 

Went back out today. I put 10 Federal's downrange after running 50 Winchester 20gr's through it.
I had no problem hitting a 4"x14" popper in its' 1"x2" "head" at 220yds with Federals.
I guess they like a fouled bore?

 

Finally found some at Wal-Mart! $14.77

 

I saw today that the local Walmart had a case of the American Eagle ammo. What a surprise. Will have to get a couple of boxes. I hope it doesn't have the WW issue with split necks. Most of our fliers/group busters came from split necks. The rifle wants to shoot. I have been blaming the ammo for the inconsistent groups.

 

WM here has a pile of Fed and Win ammo.

 

17wsm ae

I have a T/C with an MGM barrel. I brought a brick of the AE, it shoot much better than the WW 25gr. However, I shot a couple of jacks today, bullet broke up pretty fast, one was 135yds. ?is that a Vmax bullet on the AEs?

I'm going in Aug to shoot PD, I'm going to try the 20gr. The gun shoot them under an inch.

 

20 grn accuracy varies lot to lot in my experience so far and I expected no better.

 

I've only noticed a few split necks with the AE. I do have a few FTF and some flyers.

 

I thought it was all Winchester ammo with different packaging, what's the deal?

 

They heard you got one so they're getting rid of their antique brass.

Hey Guys
I've been away for a long time and have come back to the forum. Can someone update me or throw some links at me about the .17WSM. I'm guessing from what I read that the round was a let down and a few other manufactures are starting to make the round. Anyway, if your bored and like typing, I'll be grateful for any direction/info.
