This is a safety issue also, but figured Rural living was the best place to post:
Remington is posting 1/4 page ads in various gun magazines about the recall on their .17 hmr 597 and Remington branded 17 hmr ammo - as it is not safe for use in semi-auto rifles.
They are offering a $10 coupon for every FULL box of ammo mailed back and $200-250 for each 597 rifle, depending on configuration.
The coupons are only good for buying other Remington merchandise, and will take 6-8 weeks to process after they get your stuff.
Not good PR.
