I experienced the same results.

It $ 27.00 per box in the uk

They better not discontinue that American eagle ammo like they always do the nitwits in Minnesota

To the best of my understanding, ALL 17WSM ammo is loaded by Winchester. Same as all 17 HMR is loaded by CCI.

Another great video

My B-Mag 17 WSM shoots the 20 gn is a single hole. The 25's are more like 1 MOA.

The 17 is .172" in diameter, How small is that single hole?? Is that a 1 shot, a 3 shot, 5 or a 10 shot group?

@@cavedweller1959 I have had a few 5 shot groups that look like my smallest finger nail. Maybe 0.35" in total at 100 yards, or 0.18 MOA.

Nice, love this rifle 👍

Bought my first vortex scope 10 years ago put it on my ruger number 1 in 2506 shoots one hole groups at100 yards

Sure glad I bought a cooler full of 17 WSM ammo in all three brands 3 years ago.

I’ve got 2 bmags 17wsm’s and coming from a guy that loves the 17HMR I can say the Bmag is a better cartridge in every way. Where I’m at they aren’t but about 1$ difference in prices.

I like how you enjoy your rifles. 👍👍👍👍👍👍✌

I have shot a fair bit of the 17WSM. My conclusion is the lots vary so much it’s ridiculous, run some over the chrono. The guys with the rimx actions make high claims of super accuracy, I won’t drop 2k to find out.

Love my wsm bmag want a 17 hornet , gonna have to get a used one I guess!!!

One of each is a good way to go.

CD Try the lead free ammo. To my surprise that one shot extremely well in two 17wsm heavy barrels. Originally had the skinny barrels and looked like a shotgun pattern. Sent them back to savage and they replaced them with heavy barrels and they’d shot much better but the lead free for some reason grouped the best

Where did get the ammo

Try without that extension and see if it groups better

The 25 gr shoots best in the one I got

Unbelievable! There went that damn garbage truck again. You better find out who's driving it. He's stalking you! I've been picking up 1 or 2 boxes of .17 WSM over the past few months to feed my Winchester 1885 Low Wall. Have not paid less than $21/box. Thanks for the vid!

That fed ammo shot through the same hole

Have you gotten your hands on an A17 in .17wsm yet?

I haven't even talked to anyone that has even seen one, let aloan got to play with one.

Hey CD! Did you have to do any altering to get that bolt knob to fit right? My bolt throw is way to high with the Glades armory one I put on mine. Probably gonna have to go back to the stock one if I can’t figure something out

None, went together with no issues. With the scope/rings combo I have on it, the handle will hit the scope just a bit.

Some time back, bought the woman a "Cabelas special" Lady B-Mag! Came on a Boyds stock, with "pencil" barrel! Nice lookin little rifle! But grouped like 💩!! Then I see this YT video about bedding these actions! Night and day difference!🎯can cover group with a dime or smaller!😘

So what is your next bedding project?? You know they are not finished, if they are not bedded.

One question if your shooting p dogs why are all your groups 3 to 4 inches to the right of the bullseye

Not zeroing the scope, just shooting for group.

Cavedweller, darn you, you got me addicted to the .17 WSM. What suppressor are you using? Like to add one to my B Mag.

It's a .22 rimfire, Tango by Mack Bros. Sturgis SD. Also use them on the Hornets.

Same here. In the very few times I've seen it on ammo seek, it's been over $1 per round. It seems the manufacturers stopped making it altogether.

That barrel gets hot fast. By the fifth shot you will lose accuracy. Stand it up between strings.

Where can I buy ammo for my 17 wsm I can’t find any?
