This is my first 17 so I'm not sure what to run in it. Should be a fun little shooter once I get it figured out
At one time I measured water capacity for fired cases out of my chamber. Id have to dig through some notes but I believe there was a 1.6 grain average difference between the Remington and Norma/Nosler brass, Norma/Nosler having the smaller capacity.
