Has anyone had an issue while shooting Hornady 17 HMR ammo? A buddy of mine had a magazine blow up while shooting with his Volquartsen. The rifle ha been checked out by Volquartsen and it was recommended to shoot A17 ammo only through it.

You can see the magazine was cratered. I know this rifle as I bought it new. The same thing happened to me except as a left handed shooter, I caught some shrapnel in my ear and neck. It went back to Volquartsen and they went through it, fixing whatever it was they thought was wrong. They told me at that time to only shoot A17 ammo through it.

Anyone else have anything like this happen to them?

There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.
