Has anyone had any experience with this .223 round necked down to a .17? If so, what are your likes and dislikes?
That sounds like a 17 Remington.
I have one of those.
I almost loaded some for it today but went with the 7-08 instead.
Very little recoil. Very fast 4000+ fps. Short barrel life. Limited ammo options.
Have you hunted with it by chance?
The New 17 Remington Changed Everything
In 1971 Remington changed the entire 17 caliber world by offering factory [17 Rem] rifles, ammunition, brass, and bullets to those shooters who were so inclined. [Editor's Note: In 1971 Remington introduced the factory 17 Remington cartridge. Officially a .223 Remington necked down to 17 caliber, it was, in fact, much closer to the 17-222 wildcat in dimensions and case capacity.
