I ran a few magazines through a 455 Precision Trainer on Sunday, no creep or grit with a clean break (felt heavy compared to my 2lb setup I’m accustomed to). A Yo Dave kit will drop it down to between 1-3lbs.

Sometimes you just have to annoy the Fudds sitting next to you that call a cease fire to check their targets every 3 rounds.Oh. Addendum.
That Volquartsen muzzle blast intensifier is just pointless.
It makes the 17HMR painfully louder and the report more concussive to all observers.
It's 24 rear-directed ports are hardly needed to tame the "punishing" 17HMR recoil.
Just removing the unneeded muzzle brake made shooting more pleasant.
I took the Sparrow suppressor off my threaded Ruger 77/22 that I'd brought.
We all took off our hearing protection and shot the 17HMR.
Way nicer.
Did not change the point of impact one tiny bit.

It's a Volquartsen semi-auto 17HMR.
SF-1 I think.
It's maiden shooting voyage.
It was terribly windy and we were numb-fingered shaking 44 degrees.
Under those conditions (with an entry level 4-12x $175 optic) and the Winchester 20 grain ammo we were suitably impressed with 1-1.5 inch groups at 100 yards.
The CCI ammo did better, the 15.5 grain stuff stuck to 1" groups. Hurray.
THEN, the CCI 17 grain ammo consistently shot 1/2 to 3/4 MOA.
WOW.
I'm thinking that with a calm day, warm unhurried hands and the 5-25 Vortex scope he has at home gathering dust this thing just might be a 1/4 MOA rifle!
Covet. Covet. Covet.
Just what I was need..... a $3,000 rimfire.
Damn, I want one.
Nice shooting!Been working on little things since I’ve transitioned to the bag/bipod. Seems like a lot of it came together tonight.

Thought I’d take the aim small/miss small to the extreme. 1” dots at 50yds. Really makes you focus on the fundamentals.
