Ingwe: Thanks for that update!
I had been very impressed with the Magnum Research Rifle in caliber 17 HMR until that "rupture" happened.
We (there were four of us along on that trip) thought it was perhaps a "thinner than specification" piece of brass at first.
Very un-nerving that incident.
Well lets hope they get the "semi-auto" 17 HMR situation resolved.
I have Hunted for several years with two fellows who each own Volquartsen semi-auto Varminters in caliber 17 HMR and to date I know of NO similar incidents that have happened with these two Rifles!
Yikes.
Hold into the wind
