Small cal cartridge design

So I know next to nothing about cartridge design. Just a tiny bit to be semi ok in conversation lol,but I'd basically like to try and get a custom lil .17 cal made based off the .22tcm case. Would like it to basically just be a deal where you run .22 TCM brass into a sizing die and boom you have your case . Would also like to have some wiggle room for people making their own cases from .223/5.56. and all this mainly to run in a AR. Not having to neck turn and all that to get functional brass

With all that being said what are some other things that would be beneficial to a small caliber case design? Mabye a different should angle ? Or ?

Also why would be a good person to go to to get help actually getting this made ? Honestly dont need it to be like bench rest quality or anything.

Thanks :)
Your making it difficult. There are many good cartridges out there that are known to be accurate. You don't have to shoot something that no-one has to have fun. I enjoy the target shooting and GH hunting. I picked a 6BR and a 6BRX for my barrels. Both shoot small groups. Simple to load. Good barrel life.
 
Difficult is in the eye of the beholder, some think AI cartridges are Difficult.
Personally I would never discourage anyone to not build a wildcat cartridge for the simple fact it makes you think outside the box and I know one thing it has done since I started my wildcat journey some 20 years ago is a better reloader.
