My neighbor just got a great deal on a Marlin in 17Mach 2.
For those who don't know, this is essentially the .22Stinger necked down to .17. It is .10" longer than standard .22LR.
Shooting Hornady factory 17gr. ballistic tips.
Gun/cartridge accurate as all get out.
Problem is that about 10 of the 50 cartridges we shot had the casing crack from the neck about 1/2 way down to the rim.
When I say crack, I mean split open, as in you can see inside the casing.
Has anyone else experienced this???
Kinda scary that it's factory ammo!!
