Do you have a 17 Kilbourn Hornet or a rare 17 Kimber Hornet? If a 17 Kilbourn Hornet, one might get a standard Redding fl 22 k hornet die(#91362) and have JLC Precision convert it to a bushing die for sizing with the proper size bushing and obviously w/o the 22 caliber guts.
For a seater die I believe you could use a Hornady 17 seater(# 44101). Hornady supplies this die as a seater for 17 Hornady Hornet, 17 Fireball, and 17 Remington.. JLC Precision does good work at a reasonable price but I am not sure if Jim is still doing the bushing die conversions. Info on JLC Precision follows. Best to call his cell.

PS: With a relatively low pressure round and a relatively sharp shoulder angle, one may not need to fl size and bump the shoulder. May get quite a few reloads only neck sizing. May just be able to back-off a 17 Hornet fl die and only neck size. Significantly cheaper approach if it works.

Some info. that I could find on chamber dimensions.
shoulder angle= 35(K), 30(Ack), 25(Horn)
shoulder diameter= .288(K), .289(A), .294(H)
