Default CCI 17 HMR ammo

Anyone had their hands on or tried the new CCI 17 HMR with the yellow tip ? How, if so, does it compare to some of the other brands ? Bill K

Default CCI ammo

Went to midway USA they said it was discontinued. So I called CCI they laughed said no it's still out there. Said Able ammo should have come.

Default CCI 17 HMR ammo

I have seen it on some sites, for sale, but now that this law passed in California they can not ship it to me any longer. So I am waiting for my gun shop to get some in. So far none has shown up there either. In time. Bill K

I’m pretty sure that’s what CCI sent me a 2-3 months ago (iirc). But I haven’t shot any of it. Suspect it’ll be as good as it ever was.

Too old to be moving much now. But another area/state is tempting. My regular shooting buddy, just moved out of Ca to Colorado. Two of the kids are in this area, we are and the other is not that far off, in a valley town, so family also holds us here. But this state and it's politicians are all a bunch of fruitcakes now days and making it worse everyday.

As for the ammo, this is the newest one's from CCi, with the yellow tip and they say 100 fps faster than any previous one's.. In time I will get my hands of some to see. Accuracy and all. Bill K

The new stuff and the A17 ammo is shooting at near 2,800fps! Article in Rifles Varmint the A17 ammo clocked 2,700+ and 10 foot from chrono that's right at 2,800! I've shot the A17 in my Ruger 77 and it did pretty good. Good enough for crow at 200yrd!

I only use my A17 ammo for plinking now and then. It does not print as well as the other 17hmr standard velocity ammo (2550 FPS). I have not seen any new CCI ammo out. I can purchase CCI @ $99 per brick so I have been adding that to my reserve of 17hmr ammo. I would certainly be willing to try any new ammo, but an extra 100 FPS would only be meaningful if it groups as good or better than the 2550 stuff. Burt

Almost all the 2,550 stuff I've chronograph is going 2,650fps ! All the online articles say the same thing. As well as 90% of the magazine articles I've read on HMR! Hell the 20gr XTP in most articles is going 2,400+ ! So thats all a good thing
