Thanks for the video an chrono results. I just picked up a .17HMR and chrono'ed various loads. It was so accurate that I went to ten shot groups and stretched it out to 200 yards. What really surprises me is that there's no flyers with any of the various brands and types. With the VMax, it shoots a little over a half inch at 100 and under 2 inches at 200 (ten shots)! I should have bought this a long time ago!
Thanks for watching and commenting…still trying to gather ammo for this rifle to see what else it likes… hopefully I can find some of the 17gr Hornady to try out…
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting one of these , I most likely will,, off topic for some reason RUclips didn’t alert me to this video I just happened to stumble on it , I’m subscribed and I have it set to alert me to all from you !! I’m wondering if RUclips is messin around yet again. Very good video. Thanks👍👍👍👍
Another tidbit. Take a try at the 15.5 gr NTX round for your 17HMR rifle. I reload thousands of these for my 17 Hornet Model 1771 Anschutz. Even in 5-10 mph wind, a rarely miss ground squirrels in the 200-250 yd range. Many beyond that. One actually at 385 yds, almost no wind. It only gets squirrely (if you will) after 300 with the gusts. I suppose trying the 25 gr Vmax's at that further range would have worked better. Its absolutely astonishing though, how that light little 15.5 boattail bullet performs. In fact, that gun is dedicated to that bullet now. Part of the reason I'm viewing your cool video is that its almost pointless to waste all my 17 Hornet reloads on all the ground squirrels out to 100yds. Its almost impossible to miss. So considering the 17HMR. The air time these little critters get, 3-4 ft sometimes at 50-70 yards is kind of addictive though!! Enjoy
I will be testing out multiple brands of ammo through this rifle… I was fortunate to score some ammo from some of the local gun shops…. So look for more videos coming in the near future…. Right now with all the rainy days we have been having it’s been tough to get any video content made at my shooting spot…
My CZ457 likes the CCI V-max 17grs. A special feature of the caliber is that the accuracy deteriorates massively after 50 shots due to the barrel contamination. After 50 shots, the barrel needs to be chemically cleaned, then the caliber works very well.
I didn’t realize 17HMR would be dirty… I am hoping to get a few more rounds through the barrel to season it up… I will probably run a borescope to see what it looks like after a couple hundred rounds.. thanks for watching…
Would luv to own an anschutz but I will say this, my cz 527 in 17 hornet is a tack driver with the 15.5 bullet and not only that I have a 17fireball built on a remington 700 action and it is 1/2 or better shooter with 20 grain bullets, I put some 15.5's in it and it will shoot them under have inch also, and under an inch at 200. just purchased the cz 457 and breaking in now.
Great video and obviously a great rifle. Based on your review, yesterday I purchased the CZ457 Varmint in 17 HMR and waiting on a CZ barrel chambered in 22LR. Two questions. 1. Are you aware of any ballistic calculators that, once zeroed at 50 yards or 100 yards, can assist in predicting impacts at 150-400 yards. 2. What bean bag make and model were you using to steady the rifle rear stock. Keep up the great video's!
If you don’t have a Kestrel… I have had good luck with Hornady’s free ballistic calculator…. As for the bag.. I like the Wiebad Fortune Cookie bag.. glad you enjoyed the video….
Nice video bro. I got the exact same rifle as you, and I just love it! One question thoug, were did you find that cheek rest? Whats the brand? Thanks again 😊
Here is the link to the cheek rest.. thanks for watching and commenting… www.amazon.com/Leather-Buttstock-Holder-Adjustable-Pouches/dp/B0B68GQTDV/ref=sr_1_12?crid=28Y3XIAGJC85O&keywords=Leather+but+stock+shell+holder+gun+stock+cover+cheek+rest+riser+for+.22.+17HMR&qid=1680052696&sprefix=leather+but+stock+shell+holder+gun+stock+cover+cheek+rest+riser+for+.22.+17hmr%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-12
It would have helped if you'd have let us know whether or not you dialled up from 50 to a 100,my take now is the impact point is the same at both distances when zeroed at 50??????
Sorry…yes in the intro with the screenshot of my DOPE it list my zero at 50yds… the screenshot moved pretty quick so it is hard to read and pause the data… thanks for commenting and watching….

Thank You Sir! Congratulations! That was nice grouping. It will be good to see how other ammo works.👍🇺🇸
Yeah.. I am looking forward to finding out what other ammo it likes.. thanks for watching…
My Marlin likes the 17gr. Hornady. I bought it as soon as it came out, I was really excited about the 17hmr when I heard about it.

Looks like you have a good rifle. I always think the 20” barrel versions shoot better than the 16” in .17 HMR.
Never had the16” so I can’t comment on it… but this version seems like it is gonna be a fun shooter… thanks for watching…

Nice little rifle to mount on that scope 😅
I replaced the scope on my Vudoo for a Gen III Razor… so this Gen II Razor was perfect for this rifle…

Have you seen the Timney trigger designed for the CZ 457? As if its not accurate the way it is, now you can turn a $600 rifle into an Anschutz!
I have.. not quite there yet…but the stock trigger isn’t that bad…thanks for commenting and watching…
Great job. How many yards did you zero your scope?
Scope is zeroed for 50yds… thanks for watching and commenting…

My 455 shoots the 17 hmr okay nothing to rave about but it has got the standard trigger.

Let me get this you’re going to use a 17 HMR for NRL 22 somethings wrong with that math
Unfortunately I can’t….but it sure would be fun…. Maybe if they did a Hunter series with a Rimfire… thanks watching and commenting…
