**** Recall: Winchester Super-X .17 HMR Ammunition ****

Post by WLJ » Sat Sep 14, 2019 11:48 am

Olin Winchester is recalling two lots of .17 HMR 20-grain jacketed hollow-point rimfire rifle ammunition (X17HMR1). The last four characters of the affected lot numbers are NB51 and NB61.

Winchester has determined the above lots of .17 HMR ammunition may contain no powder charges. Ammunition with no powder charges may result in a bullet remaining in the barrel (i.e., a bullet-in-bore obstruction). Firing a subsequent bullet into the bore obstruction could cause firearm damage, rendering the firearm inoperable and subjecting the shooter and bystanders to a risk of serious personal injury.

DO NOT USE WINCHESTER .17 HMR 20 GRAIN JHP SYMBOL X17HMR1 THAT HAS A LOT NUMBER ENDING IN NB51 or NB61. The ammunition Lot Number is stamped on the top of the 1000-round case and the outside of the 50-round plastic box as indicated in the accompanying photos.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.
