dan cooper once refused to chamber a rifle in 17 ah for me. said the cartridge did not meet their accuracy standards. 2 years later I was talking to walt berger and he told me he was thinking of shooting his cooper ve in benchrest competition because it shot one hole at 100 yards. don't know if he ever did it but we sure talked about it a lot.
tight sub sami specs are the key to accuracy in a 17 ah/hh. if the cartridge headspaces off the rim and the bullet is perfectly square with the throat abd bore I think (opinion)great accuracy can still be achieved

Boy, howdy.......... Comments like that concerning some folks favorite red t-shirt donor company can really cause you to have a major life crisis. For simply relating the results of two phone calls in 24 hours to Big H over their 17 HH factory ammo issues here, I suddenly found myself awhile back to be totally devoid of human characteristics. I'm just now getting my self confidence back............... -BCB

On top of what I said earlier about CZ chambers, their barrels tend to be tight as well, likely from the hammer forging process. If the 25 grain ammo is too hot for your gun, sell or trade it and load your own or go back to 20 grain ammo. Hornady is going to end up blowing someone up and the lawsuits will come down like hail. I would hate to see a great company killed off because their lawyers and risk guys underestimate the potential liability of not dealing with these well known issues. |

I'd like to measure some brass from these so called tight chamber CZ's because my two CZ 527's were purchased two years apart and they are/were a far cry from having tight chambers. In fact all I've ever heard is people complaining about the bulged brass from their CZ 527 17 Hornets.

Yesterday the last one I shot blew the primer and stuff hit me in the face so I don’t think I’ll be shooting the 25’s anymore. Kinda hurt but no damage to me or the rifle.

I have no idea if tight chambers are part of the story for some 17 HH owners, but if all you've heard "is people complaining about the bulged brass from their CZ 527 17 Hornets", (because CZ chambers apparently are all to big???), you're missing a big part of the story. No pierced primers, no backed out primers that leak gas and etch bolt faces, no dished cartridge faces/rims...?? If these are new issues for you, you've missed a bunch of the 17 HH factory ammunition saga over the past few years since the cartridge hit the market. -BCB

My comment/s was with regard to blaming the issue on CZ 527's in 17 Hornet having tight chambers. As I mentioned, I have two 527 17 Hornets and they were purchased two years apart. I know several people with CZ 527 17 Hornets that have been purchased at different periods since they were introduced to the market and every one of them has the same two complaints. One, they would like to see CZ fix the feed issue with the 17 Hornets, and two, their brass always comes out slightly bulged from them having such a generously cut chamber. But, all of the people I personally know that have these and those that I've talked to, are generally very happy with the way they shoot. |

To be very frank, to this day, the only 17 HH brass that I trust as being reliable is the brass I made for myself from 22 Hornet cases at a time when Hornady's "tech specialists" couldn't even agree among themselves as to what the ammo problems were.
In one 24 hour period, one told me that they knew they had brass problems and that they were working to resolve them. The next day another "expert" told me that the brass was fine and that all of the issues people were having were the result of excessive head space in CZ rifles....... Take your pick............... And through it all, people still seem to be having problems at the present time with 17 HH factory ammunition as evidenced in his thread................. -BCB
