.17HMR ammunition
You may use .17HMR ammunition at Stoke Orchard and Severnside ranges. You are required to inform the duty RCO you wish to shoot .17HMR before commenting shooting.
Members must read the report in the members section of this web site to understand which batches of ammunition are potentially flawed and to refrain from using these.
Background information:
Ammunition manufactured before 2017 has been documented as unreliable, not firing completely, and thus leaving a head in the barrel. if not realised, and another round is fired, can result in firearm failure and barrel and/or action bursting.
If in doubt about the age of your ammunition, please ask RCO’s for advice.
