Redneck: I know at least 50 (fifty!) avid 17 HMR users and nary a one has abandoned ship (so to say!) due to "fail to fire" issues!
And that number does NOT include myself who was one of the very first 17 HMR buyers/users/advocates.
I eagerly and earnestly advocate the useage and purchase of 17 HMR Rifles/pistols!
Long live the 17 HMR.

Well, good for them... I will say though, the most problems I ran into with customer's rifles were in the earlier years of the .17HMR ammo.. Two were from Savage rifles - and the FTF rounds they brought in with the rifles showed properly deep firing pin strikes. I know one of the guys sent his rifle back to Savage - and when he got it back he immediately traded it for something that was NOT in .17HMR.. Other customers had similar issues - but again that was relatively early in the history of that round..
Maybe now that's been mostly taken care of.. Which is a good thing, IMHO..
