My gun 17 HMR literally blew up with Hornady Ammo. Called customer services and they told me to go fly a kite. Read on many forums that others had this same experience. If you build a custom gun it should be able to handle the most common factory ammo and not destroy itself on the 3rd shot. You would also expect a company to stand by a $1200 product and not tell the customer "At your own risk".
This is my experience. IF you cannot make a gun to shoot a 17 HMR how can you make a gun to shoot a bigger caliber. They are not a mass produced gun company they are a semi custom shop. Quality control should be high on their list but clearly it is not.
Basically every 17 HMR semi-auto was recalled at one point. It was due to the ammo manufacturers not being able to produce ammo consistently. Not sure why this round was so hard to make but I had a .17 hmr blow up on me as well, and it wasn't a AA. The ammo was the culprit from everything that I read, and for a while no one was making .17 HMR semi-autos because of this.
