    Just woundering if anybody has any that they're not using, maybe bought a box or two and they don't suit your gun and have them lying around. My CZ455 won't shoot anything else only these. I have a box of Winchester 17g with 5 gone out of the box and there just going to sit in the cabinet. Licence can be shown if anybody wants to sell.

    That's strange, my CZ455 will shoot pretty.much any 17hmr round I give it. 3 mates have them also and same, shoot anything.

    What is happening with the rounds, are you using a suppressor etc

    Sorry I meant it won't shoot anything other than federal for tight groups. It will fire them no problem but not within an inch.

    Tried hornady and they grouped around 1.5" and then tried Winchester too but didn't need to shoot more than 5 to see how bad they were @ 100 yards.I have a sak mod on. Federal will shoot 1" and less @100 yards . This pic is Winchester on the right and federal on the top left. I adjusted the scope to zero on the federal a and then shot a 3 shot group at the left bull. Easy to see its federal are best

    Same with my CZ. Would shoot everything, but the Federal were by far the best and most consistent.

    As you've said supply is an issue with them. Haven't even seen them in months. Hornady were pretty good, but i got some split cases that i never got with Federal, and if i tried Hornady 20gr the groups were terrible.
