270 and 7mm jackets.
could draw them down [and pinch trim them] to make good 6.5's pretty easily too.

There was a thread a while back when they first announced the 17WSM and its usesfor swaging. Problem at the time was nobody could find any. It would make good jackets for the larger stuff. I have taken the 22mag up to 7mm but they get pretty thin so no fast twist or high velocity or they come apart. I am curious on how thick the case is on the 17WSM. I did see some loaded ammo in a little reloading shop the other day. Not sure if anybody has tried using it yet. To my knowledge no one make a derimming die for it.
