Hornady 17gr Vmax, 6 shots





CCI A17 Varmint Tip, 2 - 5 shot groups (as are the rest). Positive the hit in the white square was my fault

Shooting gun as issued sans a few turns of a screw to reduce trigger pull weight. T1x MTR 16"
Adjusted 2 clicks left in between the CCI Vmax groups.

Seems to shoot everything pretty well but I will need to revisit those Game Points. Second group was U-G-L-Y
Need to get it out to the 100yd line and see if the accuracy holds.

Looks like it likes those CCI 20gr fmj's. Have you tried any Federal ammo?

Looks good!

Try out the Hornady 15.5gr NTX if you can

No sir, I haven't.

Does it shoot well for you or is it's performance on game you like?

It shoots well out of a couple pretty accurate HMR’s

Nice shooting and solid write up👍🏼 definitely should move out to 100 and really see what it can do

My tikka HMR has turned in some eye-popping groups

This was with the 20gr game points at 100.


17 and 22lr

Looks pretty good so far. If you get a chance, give that a try. Both of my rifles prefer it, over just about everything else. Good write up! Hopefully you are saving those targets, and writing the info down on them. That way you will have a quick reference. Something I always do.

My T1X prefers the Hornady 20 gr XTPs and the Federal 17 gr TNTs. The CCI A17s shot the worst for me.

Nice paint jobs. You do that yourself?

Keep nail ing it with those 17 HMR's. They all tend to drive tacks. Work great on sage rats and other small vermin. I'm getting rid of one, but keeping the A17. I'm sure the Tikka's shoot excellent, as do the Savages and CZ's. Glad to see someone else posting target pics. Looking good!!

Evenin, I'll second the 15.5gr, they almost make black birds disappear !!! GWPGUY. 🐾👣🇨🇦

Yes sir..simple sponge dip and dab

Looks like Hunter biden's work. ha ha. Just kidding buddy..

I ought do better at posting targets, especially with detail.

The loaded round it for perspective as it wasn’t the ammo shot to make the group @ 100yds.

I don’t recall of this was Hornady 17gr max or the 15.5 ntx

Looks great to me. Kind of pointless to label it as 100 yards. I know, that if it was shot at 50 yards, it would be a ragged hole. Nice shooting either way. I need to try some of that 15.5gr ammo. I've seen it, and was questioning how good it was. Wondering how well it would do in my A17. I had my Savage 93R17 in hand today. Almost put it on consignment, as the A17 does everything I need a 17 to do.

While it’s possible I was under the influence whilst painting…I can assure you no glass pipes were involved!

Ha ha. I'm rollin now.. Hey, some of us do our best work while under the influence!!!!

My 10yo shot this with our t1x and the 17gr hornadys... 10 shots @ 100 using only a front bag and leaning across the bench because the chair was too short. 1in circle/squares. Love to see what it would do actually trying.
