.223 Fiocchi Brass

Sorry, can't help with loads for 30 gr bullets as I've never tried them. My 17/204 really likes H380 with the 25 gr Hornady HP. Start with 17 Rem loads and work up. Vic

Tipton Rod
Not sure how you would repair a .17 cal rod that broke in two pieces. Guess you might glom it up with epoxy and make a .30 cal rod out of it? :confused:

Never heard of "17 B Mag" cartridge. If you mean 17 WSM, the 77/17, a bolt gun is the only Ruger ever chambered in that caliber. Ruger had a prototype 10/17 in 17 HMR at the Shot Show a number of...
