Single-Sixer
I recently bought a Ruger single six 17 HMR blued in like new condition.
Firing it from a rest at 25 yards it keeps most of the shots in a 3" circle.
This is with Hornady ammo.
I'm not very impressed by this at all.
Am I expecting too much? My .22 single six hunter has shot 1" groups at 25 yards.
I've heard rifle shooters rave about the great accuracy of the 17 HMR.
It just seems like ammo that costs 30 cents a round should do a bit better.
I also shot a couple of 1 quart water bottles and got a neat little hole in and out but no sign of any expansion. Again, not very impressive.
