17 BR case options

[Big Mc]

Is anyone familiar with this caliber? cant seen to find any load info. or even anyone who makes dies. Supposed to be a 22BR necked down case is all I can find.

Have you loked at a 17-223.. mine loves Nosler 20 HP. And the yotes hate it. Tommy Mc 20 gr moves out at 4100 +/- a few.

Berger used to make some 37 gr bullets for 17. That would be a little screamer in ppc or br cases

Those flopped. iIRC they needed a crazy fast twist to stabilize. Been a long time but I think the twist needed was 1-7”. Several guys built PPC’s and BR’s set up for the 37 Berger only to find out the bullets were blowing up a few feet from the muzzle. Too much of a good thing.

I wondered about that. Their old jackets used to be ideal on expansion and expansion to soon lol
