Who has a 17 mach IV ?

I have been considering one for some time - probably a contender pistol barrel.
I have never had a center fire 17 caliber.

I have a 221 fireball which does produce a fireball in muzzle blast.

Does the 17 mach IV do the same in a pistol barrel? I would assume so.

I have had some ammo and brass for it laying around for a few years.

As you my may know the 17 remington fireball is very close to the Mach IV. Factory ammo, brass, dies etc. I have the 17 fireball in a remington 700 SPS, but not in a contender pistol. We're I looking for a 17, it'd be the 17 fireball or the 17 hornady hornet to avoid the wildcat die prices and forming brass.

I have some loaded 17 mach IV ammo and brass already picked up from some old store inventory.

Just enough to lure me that way to finish what some other hand loader else started 20 years or so ago.
