17 ppc brass

[alintx]

Anyone out there have some, or know anyone making it ? Bought a gun with 17 ppc bartel on it, just hate to spring for forming dies till i know its good. Have hand dies on the way, just need formed cases now ! Any help is appreciated !

I have taken a lot of 22 cal brass down to 17 cal. without form dies. I lube case necks with graphite and run them into the seating die and then lube the whole case and run it into the sizing die. I have taken them from the 224 straight to 172, but have lost a very few cases do that, but none going through the seating die first.
