[QUOTE="B1s BmagX2, post: 2831307, member: 116037"] 17-222. Interesting. I never cared much for the 17 Remington. I know it's a decent performer, but I'm one of those guys that always liked the quote "If it looks right, it is right". The 223 cases necked down to 17 just never looked right to me, Now a 222 case necked down to 17 makes more sense. Plus I think you would have fewer problems under-charging, given the case capacity, and less chance of a detonation occurring. It should be easier to find and resize brass as opposed to having to cut and reform for the 17 Fireball, and 17 Fireball brass is more than a buck a piece! I kinda have the same problem with the 204 Hornady using a 222 mag case necked down to 20 cal. That being said, I have a 204 and it shoots great! It still looks better than the 17 Rem. Now that I've ticked off some 17 Rem owners, sorry, I do like its performance so I guess looks aren't everything!! Just not my cup of tea. [/QUOTE]
