17 HMR

Robby Long
Hi everyone,need a little info.I bought a savage model 93R17 used but in excellent condition,it has a heavy stainless barrel.The problem is about every 10 shots or so it will not eject the shell,i got to reach in with tweezers to get the shell out.I am using hornady ammo.This is a older savage and it does not have the new accu trigger on it.Is there anything that I can do??Thanks Joe

    Hello, i am wondering if anyone has experienced primers blowind out where the firning pin hits on 17 HMR CCI full metal jacket ammo? I just bought a Henry Golden Boy in this caliber and when we fired it every half dozen shells or so I could feel stuff hiting my face. After dark we very safely fired into a dirt mound and experienced alot of sparks back by the hammer? On inspection of the spent casings you can see where the rim of the cartridge cracked open right where the firing pin makes contact. I could not get this to duplicate with federal ammo? I am going to contact CCI as well as Henry on monday but wondered if anyone else had any info on this or any suggestions for me? Thanks

    Bad lot possibly, what results have you had with other brands.

    Could be the rifle itself. I had a friend who had one blow a chunk out of the reciever doing the same thing. He sent it back and it done the same thing, and then he finally got one that worked, and sold it.

    Don't shoot that rifle anymore. It obviously needs some help. Take it to your local shop or dealer, and have them send it back to Henry.
