17 Winchester Super Mag

[Ojaileveraction]

It was Public Range Day at the club today (every 4th Saturday) and I volunteer RSO under the Rang Master.
It was kind of slow so I pulled out my Savage Bmag to shoot some rimfire 17 WSM.
I have not shot it for about a year.
I got used to it shooting stray clay pigeons around the 200 yard line.
I used a left over target on the 200 yard line to shoot some groups and here is the best one. This is boom, boom ,boom not letting the barrel cool down.

This was using Winchester brand 20g HV. The box says 3000fps.
Shooting off a Rock Benchrest and a rear bag.
Sorry no pictures of the rifle. I remembered to get this one as we were cleaning up.

I also shot the 45-70 and 35 Remington using H4895 for the first time. I had changed the sights on the rifles so I was still sighting them in but they seemed to go where I was pointing.

Excellent shooting and accuracy!

West of the Rockies it would be called a DINNER mag!

Ditto what TNman posted!

Don't think you'd want to eat anything you shot with a 17wsm. It is pretty much a varmint round. Explosively so.
I've seen pictures of FMJ rounds but never seen them for sale.

You ARE getting me interested in the 17 WSM, you know. Great shooting and group. Very impressive.

Thank you MrEd,
I come from a West of/East of blended family.
That explains the Dinner/Supper controversy that raged for years.

This was a stainless Heavy Barrel that I changed the original cheap/as in trashy plastic stock with a Boyds Prairy Hunter. And I did some fiddling adjusting the tension of the front and back action studs. It has a Mueller Optics 6x24/50mm target scope, or maybe I should say the scope has the rifle.
I have read a couple maybe reviews on the 1885 in 17wsm and they were not encouraging as you have inferred. BUT NGC, I read the post you wrote about one of your 1885 rimfire and the possibility of over tightening the fore stock. That gives me hope.
So all in all I will take that chance and start the hunt for an 1885 in 17wsm.
