Why not just a 17-223, easy to make brass, just neck down a 223, etc.
If I went that route, in either cartridge, I would go with a 20 in barrel.
Talk to Pac-nor about a barrel and help. Bill K

Thanks, have a place to start. Hadn't really thought about 17-223, set up for 17 Remington reloading and it does what I need it to do.

I would do a 17-223 or 17 Tactical before I did a 17 Rem, in an AR....much better/cheaper brass availability, I have a 17 Tac and a 17/222. I may be persuaded to sell the 17/222 upper, if someone was to ask nicely.

Now as nice as a 17/222 is why would you sell it. Are the other 17 based round, you have, just easier to feed in the AR with feeding in magazine, action and all ? Just curious. Bill K

I have numerous 17's in AR's as well as bolt guns, I wouldn't go any shorter than the 17/222 in an AR, it can be done but feeding problems will arise unless everything is perfect, really no need to mess with it..

IIRC my 17/triple deuce is a 10 twist, I have it set up for 20gr bullets at the moment, my fox rifle, it has a nice light weight barrel on it.
