I found this forum because I'm looking to shoot 17 rem or 17-223 out of an AR platform. It seems anytime I ask about it anywhere else the replies are something like "why would you want to to that when X does all that plus more? Well, I just want to and for the same reason that while I've always shot 3 position smallbore and 308, because I can.
So I am a newbie when it comes to 17 centerfire anything and while I do enjoy the 17 HMR its a different animal and I enjoy reloading as much as shooting. There is something about doing it for yourself by yourself that adds to the enjoyment but getting there involves info and knowledge from those who know more about it than me. While I don't hunt anymore I thought I'd take up helping with excess varmit/vermin control when opportunities present. I am limited when it comes to some activities because of the state I'm in but that isn't something I can just change right now although depending on what comes down the pike that could change.
Retired now and have been for about 11 years with some ex this and ex that experience but that was then and this is now. I'm hoping to learn and contribute when I can. I've got some years left and this has been the one passion that has stayed with as far back and memory serves so here I am hoping to see the hows of the 17s and finally actually do it, a good 17 has been on my list since the 17 Rem came out.
