Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires What's the most accurate ammo in your 17 HMR?

I shot some CCI vmax ammo today out of my CZ 17hmr and it shot lights out. I have not been able to find any consistent 17hmr ammo. Thought that the TNT was probably the best available. Did not expect this box to shoot as well as it did. I thought the gun was not capable of how it shot today. Shot 10 5 shot groups @ 50y that were all good with nary a flier. One group was a ragged hole. Largest was probably .4 ctc.

Every CZ bore I've look at thru the Hawkeye is visually comparable to aftermarket tubes. The lands seem to be tapered sorta like a Broughton 5C or similar, not 90* sharp edges like most bores. And, there are NO machine marks at all, super slick.

I've heard some good stuff about CZ rimfire accuracy and was wondering how a top CZ would stack up against a 54 series Annie, or equivalent .22 WMR/.17 HMR.

I have owned a 455 CZ 22lr and it did not shoot as well as my 2 54 action Anschutz sporters. I did not try a bunch of ammo but with same ammo it shot about .2" larger groups than my Annie sporters. I owned a 64 and 54 17hmr Anschutz. Neither shot any better than my CZ. Once again I did not do an exhaustive ammo trial on any of them. Bought a 64 action Anschutz for a buddy and it shot amazingly with vmax ammo. Trying to figure out how to get that gun back gracefully.
