do you own a 17 rem and wanting to make ammo for it from .223 cases?
or are you wanting a wildcat based off .223 cases in 17 caliber?
if the latter there is the .17 practical like mentioned above. not 100% certain but based off the first response it sounds like its the same process as the 20 practical only necked down further.
The easy route here is to buy a .223 Remington bushing die (redding type s for example) then buy a series of bushing to neck down to 17 cal. (bullberry also sells double ended dies that goes to 17 in 2 steps that could save a little money versus 3-5 bushings but the end result may not be as good)
One thing to consider here is what twist rate to run. with a case of this size it would shine with 25-30gr bullets which would be best with a 9 twist. but if you wanted to zing lightweights for some crazy reason go slower twist or you could lose bullets before they make it to the target.
