Well I finally got it to the Range and sighted in. Started with Federal 17hmr poly tips for sighting and wearing in, and not bad to start quarter and smaller @ 50yds.
After 50 rounds of Fed I went with Hornady 17gr. and performed even better @ Dime size groups, then came the CCI 17gr and it performed as good as Hornady 17gr.
So now comes the round that has never shot well in any other HMR I've had, The CCI 20gr. Gamepoint. Let off the first round and it went 1'' high and all the rest followed close for a 9 shot group you could cover with a Quarter. I finally have gun the can shoot 20gr accurately.
Now the Conns of the Rifle: The first round jammed stuck between the mag and chamber, next round fed rough but fed. Same for 6 more then on the last round it hit the bottom of chamber an feed. I screwed around trying figure it out, and if you put up pressure on the mag it would go but never on the last one.
Just so happened that I had an extra mag and tried it and it Fixed the issue, So I will call Ruger and tell them and maybe they will send a new one.
Other than that I'm very happy with it, No Split Necks, FTFs or flyers Had 3 pounds pull OTB and break crisp, I may just keep it there.
