They shot without a problem but in something more like a pattern....not a group. The cases did not rupture but were blow out to perfect 22 WMR size..... with a 17 stamp!
Based on that experience I'm not ready to conclude that you can't shoot a Mach 2 in a HMR or how accuracy will be affected. (Just read last night that you can safely shoot the 22 WRF in a 22 HMR).

I didn't know that the .22 mag case was larger in diameter thant the .22 LR. I knew it was longer but did not know it was bigger around. In that case yes I would say it is probably prety unsafe.
It is nice to know that the .17 Aguilla will shoot ok in the .17 mach II for sake of more diverse ammo selection.
I also did not know there was any such round as the .22 HMR.
Shows how knowledgable I am
