Just wondering what ammo the other guys running this rifle have been using. I have been using the CCI V-Max and it shoots quite well. I also tried out some Whinchester 20gr hollow points but the groups open right out. They are the only two types of ammo my LGS keeps for the HMR, so I am wondering if...

Hi there guys.
Just wondering if there are any comps that I can take part in with my Savage HMR.
The local RimFire Sillywets club won't let me take part in the fun and games, the Hummer scares them!

I am keen to get involved and don't mind travelling a bit.

Thanks,
Luke

Your going to love the rifle mate.
Sometimes, I just get mine out and sit it on the lounge room floor and ogle it...... mmmmmm HMR.....

Good work. Nice and simple. I like.

Did you happen to take the measurements from a corner desk or workstation?

I am about to embark on building my first portable bench. I am just wondering if anyone can give me some idea of size required for a decent bench. I am a little lost as to where to start. Frame will be made from aluminium and legs will be adjustable for height if I can come up with something stable ...

Thanks everyone for your replies! Very nice indeed.

Anyone want to help me out and post some pictures of their .17 HMR's?
I would love to see some of the Savage thumbhole in particular...

Sorry if this seems lame, but I just cannot wait until mine arrives!

Woob mate, thanks heaps!
Damn, you could near use this thing as a paper weight! Haha.

May I ask why you had them?
Do you own a rifle (or should I say canon ) in that caliber?
Taking down some mutant pigs?

"Handloading or reloading is the process of loading firearm cartridges or shotgun shells by assembling the individual components (case/shotshell, primer, powder, and bullet/shot), rather than purchasing completely-assembled, factory-loaded cartridges. Generally only Boxer-primed cases (see int...

Thanks woob! You are a champ...
