.17 HMR has never been a caliber that's taken well to semi-automatic rifles, but Savage Arms might have rolled out a new answer at SHOT Show 2015's Media Day at the Range.

Looking to catch up on all of our SHOT Show 2015 coverage? Here's a roundup of some of the things the American Hunter staff saw earlier this month.

Savage Arms and CCI Ammunition—both of which fall uner the newly announced Vista Outdoors banner—will host a number of shooting sports celebrities at their respective booths at the 2015 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nasvhille, Tenn.

.17 HMR has never been a caliber that's taken well to semi-automatic rifles—until now.

The new Savage A17 uses a delayed blowback action. A small bar in the top of the bolt slides up to fit into a slot in the receiver when the bolt is closed, locking the action. The bar cams back down upon firing to release the bolt and allow the action to cycle, but it delays the action from opening until pressure has dropped to a manageable level.

Much like its Vista Outdoor companion Federal Premium, CCI piqued the interest of media members at SHOT Show 2016, thanks to the introduction of its new Big 4 handgun shotshell. Big 4 is designed to extend the range and capabilities of downsized shotshells, using a payload of No. 4 lead shot.

Looking to carry No. 4 shot in your favorite 9mm and put an end to your pest problems? CCI has what you've been waiting for. Here are five things you need to know.
