How many of you have factory 17 HMR 14" barrels, and how do they shoot? Was thinking about getting one for practice. Do they shoot MOA?

Yes, yes they do!

Mine will shoot that good. I keep thinking of getting rid of mine because it really has no use for me, but have been keeping it because it shoots so good.

Cool, i went ahead and ordered one today for $178. NIB. Seemed like a good price to me. I see hornady offers 20 gr. XTPs for it, that seems like it would be a great small game bullet. Let me know what your favorite ammo is- Thanks, Tad

My 16.25" HMR barrel will average around .7 MOA with the 17 grain Hornady's and .9 MOA with the 20 grain Hornadys. It opens up to around 2.5 MOA with CCI ammo.
