chimp 299 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 went to buy some blue tips today and was told cci have now run out of blues so now have to pay the extra £2.50 for red tips ..fair enuff i suppose , get half way up the road and my mate says 'these are blue tips!!' back to the shop we go lol apparantly the blue tips where made for the mach2 but seeings it is not a well used round they decided to use up all the blues on the vmax hence why you get odd colours on the tips occasionaly. we got some FMJ's to try tonight for foxes i noticed 223 rounds where cheaper then i thought £55 for 50 Quote Link to post

archiekale 427 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) 20grains shot throu my 17 with great results when i had it ,and my 2 mates have no complaints,to this day. i payed £19.50 per 100 17hmr reds or blue there still the same they shoot the same iam led to belive 20 grain are different bullets In 2004 Hornady expanded their line of .17 HMR cartridges by offering a second load using a 20 grain XTP bullet (SD .097) at a MV of 2375 fps and ME of 250 ft. lbs. Zeroed at 100 yards, this bullet will hit 3.2" low at 150 yards, according to Hornady figures. This bullet equals the SD of the 34 grain .22 WMR bullet. It is a controlled expansion bullet designed for small game hunting, rather than a frangible varmint bullet like the 17 grain V-Max bullet this is a good link http://www.chuckhawks.com/17HMR.htm Edited June 8, 2011 by archiekale Quote Link to post
