CCI/Federal Premium Ammunition: Product Safety Notice and Warning 17 HMR Ammunition.

August 20, 2009

Dear Customer:

Do not use 17 HMR ammunition in semi-automatic firearms.  Use of 17 HMR ammunition in semi-automatic firearms may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

17 HMR ammunition is manufactured in accordance with standards issued by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufactures’ Institute (SAAMI).  Subsequent to the design and introduction of 17 HMR ammunition to the market, 17 HMR semi-automatic firearms were introduced by various firearm manufacturers.  Those firearms have proven to be incompatible with 17 HMR ammunition.  17 HMR ammunition is suitable for use in quality firearms in good condition that are not semi-automatic.

Accordingly, do not use 17 HMR ammunition in semi-automatic firearms.  Only use 17 HMR in modern firearms in good condition marked for 17 HMR cartridges.  Always use eye and ear protection.  Always read all product labeling carefully for instructions on safe use.

Please contact your gun manufacturer. For ammunition questions contact CCI Technical Service at 1-866-286-7436 or Federal Premium Product Services at 1-800-831-0850.
