Need a couple 17 Ackley Bee fired brass
I got some 17 Ackley Bee RCBS dies from an auction site over the winter. Today I just bought a 23" T/C 17 HMR to send to SSK to have rechambered to the 17 Ackley Bee they asked if I could send some brass with the barrel but I haven't gotten around to forming any yet since I didn't have a barrel. I would prefer to send some fired brass that I resized with my dies. So if anyone could spare a few for this project I would appreciate it and let me know a cost a I will send payment.
Thanks Mike |
Just a heads up , many years ago I had SSK chamber a 17M2 TC barrel to 17 Ackley Bee. What I got back didn't make me any too happy. I could not seat a 20 gr VMax out far enough to touch the lands. A 25 gr VMax would reach but was barely in the neck. Ask a lot of questions.

Ray is their someone that you would recommend for rechamber work?

I would look at MGM
I had MGM build me a 6BR Encore barrel that shoots bug holes.
They have a 17Ackley Bee reamer,they are nice folks that do good work. Would definitely call em and see what they say,sounds like a neat project. Matt |
I have contacted MGM and they told me they would not do any work to a factory barrel. I got this 23" barrel at a good price and still think that with the rechamber it would be under budget of a new barrel. I have also purchased a set of 17 squirrel dies so I will be ordering a new barrel from MGM soon. I have been bitten hard by the 17 bug. My have to sell some larger calibers to fund the small stuff. LoL. Currently have a 17mach2 and a 17 Hornady Hornet but I'm one of the oddball's that thinks case forming is fun.

I could send you a couple of fired and sized cases, they were fired in a MGM barrel and sized in RCBS dies.
If I posted them to you I couldn't guarantee you would get them as I will be sending them from New Zealand. If you want them let me know and I will get them in the mail to you.....Kiwi |

Thanks for your offer but it might be more trouble that it's worth. Hopefully someone local will help with this. Thanks Mike |
I have a 17 Ackley Bee and should have some fired brass somewhere.
When it warms up later today, I'll go searching. Update: Have two fired cases in hand. Send me a PM with your mailing address. John |
