| What would make a casehead on a 17HMR semi auto bulge out toward the boltface? |
|
Quoted:
Semi auto or bolt gun? In many semi auto's the back of the chamber can be a bit looser than the rest to facilitate reliability. If the chamber is tight, then it could be firing a bit out of battery. What would make a casehead on a 17HMR semi auto bulge out toward the boltface? The chamber to me is very loose.Thanks Mike Its one of these not mine http://www.excelarms.com/acceleratorrifle.html |

Found cases matching your description at the range a couple months ago - a few of the .17 cases we found near one bench were bulged enough that the case would not stand straight on a level tabletop. We never did figure it out as we don't know who was shooting or what they were shooting. Definitely not something I've seen with .22LR or .22Mag.
ETA: The mystery is that not all the cases were bulged - some were bulged, others looked perfectly okay. |

Ya these are rounded to the max.No way these would stand straight on a level tabletop. |

To large of a bolt face, to light of a spring, to light of a bolt, unsupported chamber. This rifles the bolt face is oversized way to much room in there with the case,i think a heavier spring might help and the chamber is very loose. Im just going to tell him to send it back they have a lifetime warranty and he says that he sent it back twice already but i would keep sending it back until they fix it of refund my money. Mike |

Mike Let me guess you have a Volquartsen 10/17? I sold one of these to a guy long ago, I know that he sent it back at least 3-4 times because of issues. I also know that Ruger dropped their 10/22 in .17 as unworkable. |

Mike That is the problem with the 17M2 and HMR. They don't play well with semi-autos otherwise we would of already brought it to the market. |
