I think I want to build a 17x223 rifle. Anyone have any specifics on this cartridge? I guess I could use std 5.56 bolt and magazines? How tough are the cases to form? Just anneal and use case forming dies and then trim? I would guess a 22-24" barrel should be good?

I use a 20 cal bushing die to get to 20 and then a 17x223 die for the final step. |

Go with the longest barrel you can get. Trust me on that. Greg |
