This ammo jams in my Savage 17 HMR every 3 or 4 rounds. I switched to the Hornaday .17 full metal jacket cartridge and have experienced no jams. Could it be the load, batch or perhaps my rifle? I need to reorder but I am hesitant to order the Vmax again. Any one else have this problem?

Chris, this is likely the batch. This is sold at Walmart and I would get a box to verify function. And, no Sir, I have not had this issue in my Savage or Marlin 17HMR Rifles.
