17 reminton brassAppears is how some are doing it.

I formed on out of .223 brass it’s about 40 thousand short in the neck but it measures correctly at the shoulder.I’m doing a build on a savage axis and it looks like I’ll have to try and fire one as I can’t even find a single piece of used brass.

I would chamber each empty piece before loading to make sure they all chamber without problem.

Think what you have is called the 17 predator, think its too short for a 17 rem. 17, 222 rem. mag, and the 204 are the same basic cases. let me check some drawings. edited to add: It will work, will end up about .040 short. may have to turn the necks depending on your rifle.

Should be , if I'm correct a .17 rem uses a .223 as a parent case so you can just neck down .223 to .17 instead of buying a bunch of special brass That will get you a 17/223 not a 17 rem It is based on the .223 Remington case necked down to .172 in (4.37 mm), with the shoulder moved back.[

I looked at that but sent them an email over a week ago to see how long their back order was going to take and got no response.I don’t like dealing with a company that doesn’t answer their emails.

My tactical.20 is a .223 shortened a little at the shoulder, then necked to 204 and the shoulder changed to 30 degrees
