I used to have one. I can't help much because I sold it after a short time. It was just as loud as my 220 swift and it was a little hard to load those tiny bullets. Anyway, I decided to just shoot the swift.

What is your powder choice for the 17 Rem? I use BLC2, and find it very sensitive at top end. I have only loaded 25 gr Hornadys, but would probably back off 10% and work up .2 gr at a time going to 30 gr.
