17HMR ammo test

[MC2]

Spent today running thru some 17HMR ammo to see what my rifle likes.
Anschutz 1517 in MDT Chassis with Meopota 2-10x40
4 shot groups at 50yd using front rest. No adjusting once sighted in with first test ammo.
Ammo top to bottom = target left to right.

Federal for the win.

Tonight I switched the scope and added a bipod.
Next week will test for accuracy.

Tested with the new scope and bipod. I think I've narrowed it down.
4 shot groups at 50yd, bipod and rear bag. 3rd target with flyer was my fault (called).

That Anschutz in the MDT chassis is a sweet setup, man. From your first rounds, the Federal V-Shok was clearly the winner, it shot tiny groups right out of the gate but checking out your second round of tests, after swapping scopes and adding the bipod, it looks like things might have shifted a little bit. That CCI TNT grouped up really tight on that second target. Now that you've got the new glass and the bipod dialed in, what velocity are you seeing from that CCI TNT? It'd be interesting to see if it holds that edge at 100 yards

I need to get one of the chronys to see what kind of velocity I'm getting. I also need to shoot at 100 yds as well. I am curious to see what it groups at 100yds. I think this is pretty much a paper puncher as I don't think I could ethically shoot any varmints with it outside of 50. I'm liking the 22 ARC for coyote work, 22-250 ballistics in an AR platform.
