Where can I purchase Norma 17hmr ammo ?
well here in the in the northeast 17hmr usually runs 14+ a box which is pretty sad but we pay what we have to pay so paying a little over 12 a box is really nothing, I have paid 20+ for remmington premier ammo
I think that it is great that Norma has started building 17hmr ammo, maybe give CCI something more to work for since they are the only mfg of 17hmr ammo till now,plus they are also making 22 mag loads too and looking foreword to trying both when I can find them’
Norma should have concentrated on the 17 WSM that Winchester is currently the only manufacturer of. If the 17 WSM would have been manufactured before the HMR, I doubt we would have the HMR today. The WSM can do so much more than the HMR. My HMR is currently the my second rifle to use on a hunt for ground squirrels, prairie dogs, etc.
Remington is the one to beat, i tried the other ammo, yes its more expensive but i own the savage semi auto, shooting off a rest, every shot is consistent and the cci, a17 ammo is jumping all over the paper. I would prefer to pay just a little more and shoot the eye out at 100yds than not be sure and have to always take chest shots or miss every 3rd shot. I couldnt even sight that gun in with some of that cheaper ammo. Speed doesnt always equal accuracy
“screaming fast 2560”?? Isn’t that only 10fps faster than everyone else’s advertised velocity .17hmr?? I seem to get outstanding accuracy from Hornady and CCI for about $2 less a box. Not sure 10 fps is worth that.
I imagine your comparing the MSRP price they mentioned to street prices your paying for other manufacturers.
