Any of you shoot and load for 17/222? Got one coming.

At last count....I had three of them.....all on Sako L461 actions.

This one was built on the factory single-shot L461. It has a Pac-Nor 26" 3-groove 9" twist barrel....Canjar single-set trigger....Leupold 6.5-20XAO Target scope.
It shoots 25-27gr. Kindlers at about 3900fps.

I have the dies if one comes along! I always buy dies at gunshows if I dont have the set.... just in case!

Built the modern version in 17-223 Wildcat several times. Was easier for the brass side of things. Used a 20 tactical FL sizer, followed by the 17-223 sizer.

Shot it today with a fire forming load. 10 shots into about a dime size group. I was pretty impressed.

I had one about 30 years ago. Built by a BR guy on an XP 100 action. It would
Hold tiny groups all day long and was hell on prairie dogs as long as the wind was t bad.

I might just need to look into getting one. I’ve been playing with a 17 Mach4 and it’s a blast as well.

I think I have extra dies if it doesnt come with some.

Thanks. I have two sets of dies. Really enjoying playing with 17 calibers.

Requires special cleaning rods and what not and never saw any advantage at all over the 222 Rem, especially in windy Idaho's snake river canyon
