Honaday Blue Tip 17 Hmr

[darrendigger 19]

Went to but some more rounds at weekend and the fire arms dealer said they have recalled all the blue tips so when i whent back home again i checked the 100 i had left and seven had nasty crack down the brass so anyone with any blue tips left go through them and check could save your rifle or even worse atb dd

Cracked cases are common with red tip hornady ammo as well buddy

[kenj 131]

Agreed. Found a few cracked cases in my last 50 red tips.

When I found cracked cases I just used them on targets whilst zeroing. At least them I could be 100% sure the bullet has come out of the barrel

My new ones are a slight off red colour i got 250 of them last week i will check cheers lads dd

That slight off red is it like a brown colour if so it's a lube they use bud. That's what I was told when I called any how. It does wipe off if you want to clean them but I didn't find any performance difference

Recalled! That's news to me, his excuse for not having any I suspect and selling you something more expensive...... that he just happened to have in stock.

 

Split cases before and after firing are common on all makes of HMR ammo unfortunately!

f**k me, I must be the only person in the country that doesn't have problems with their 17. Just shot half a dozen tonight with it, 200 yard head shot I was particularly pleased with.

 

Nothing spectacular but I find it a bloody useful rifle to have sat on the passenger seat.

I've never known a calibre cause so many threads, questions, concerns, dangers, delight and controversy all at the same time.

 

Mine worked fine, I just didn't use it with the reloads for the centrefire being cheaper to shoot than it was, mine was a bit ammo fussy, it much preferred Winchester to anything else.
