.17MachII- Barnyard accurate. The .17 Hornady MachII and the .17 HMR are probably the two most under rated cartridges in use. The mach II is ideal for those chucks grazing under the farm equipment if equipped with a scope. A shot to the head at 100 feet doesn't exit, and the cartridge is so...

I have solved the prolem of choosing between the Hornady .17 Mach II and the Hornady Magnum Rimfire. A .17 MachII is perfect for barnyard woodchucks among farm equipment with rubber tires but you should have a scope. The .17HMR 20 grain FMJ will pierce .031" A-36 soft steel at 400+ yards. Today...

Bought a used one for conversion to .17hornady mach II. Didn't like the offcenter recoil spring and .010 slop in the bolt handle which would have meant .010 recoil before bolt mass would be engaged. The stock was perfectly smooth and difficult to hold with arthritic hands. Never misfired and...

Thank you for your reply. I had some initial doubts as to the veracity of the quoted O'Conner statement also. After further research I've come to the conclusion that a 3 inch high group at 100 yards in a .270 may have been reasonable for some ammunition at the time that O'Connor was active. It...

Let's talk wind drift of 2" or less for those tiny headshots Both .17 Mach2 rounds outperform the .22 Long Rifle 36 grain remington plated hollowpoint for wind drift. Both HM2 rounds have a range of 92.5 Yards with 2" of wind drift in a 5mph sidewind. The .22 Long Rifle 36 Grain plated...

You might find these links handy, they might even do repairs for you, never hurts to ask. http://www.thehighroad.org/ http://www.naaminis.com/index02.html

Ackley seems to have done a lot of specialized work with the military. We may not hear about it for another 50 years. Note the mention of higher pressures, velocities, and longer barrels. Those rounds wouldn't have been developed for shooting whitetail. Continuous casting of jacket material...
