just wondering if any body has one ,what do the guys in the states think.
Ruger had a M77/17 WSM prototype using hornady ammo at the shot show & Savage has a Semi Auto 17 WSM coming out , very interesting ..reason for asking is i seen a ruger on youtube and spotted that hornaday is doing ammo
Savage has a Semi Auto 17 WSM coming out.
I think Savage's gun (A17) is in .17 HMR not .17 WSM.
Is there another one I haven't seen?
I'm guessing the ammo drought was due to available resources and manufacturing capacity being used to cope with panic buying of .22LR -and the resulting uplift in .17HMR demand- pushing .17WSM well down the list of priorities for Winchester and CCI, especially in view of the reported case-forming and accuracy issues.
...a 5mm Rem Mag!!! People talk about overbore, but that has to take 1st prize!

Thank god for that! I thought someone had necked a 7mm RM down to 5mm!!!
Muir is referring to the 5mm Rimfire Magnum an obsolete cartridge not one based on a shortened 375H&H case!
Ian.
just get a 17 Hornet
They are having major problems with the ammunition. Our trading post has 4 Savage rifles they will sell very inexpensively because of the lack of ammo. One is 2nd hand from a customer who returned it after not being able to get ammunition for 6 months. I shot a few rounds through one last spring. Meh! I have a 5mm Remington Mag so this didn't seem so special.~Muir
