Default WTB: 17-222 Ammo

I've got a 17-222 that I would like to try out. My dies are on back order.

Looking for some ammo to test it out with.

Thanks

Don't be surprised if nothing happens with this. Crafting ammo for wildcat cartridges pretty much involves tailoring it to the firearm it is to be used in. I can only speak for myself -- if I had that particular caliber, I'd pass.

Default That's your best bet

I certainly wouldn't shoot anyone's wildcat handloads. Heck I wouldn't shoot anyone's handloads for that matter.

Excellent advice, Chuck.........

Oso. The chance that anyone would sell you some of their reloads is very slim. Main reason, is liability. If something went wrong, on your end they would be open for law suit, etc.
Plus for anyone to sell you loaded ammo, they need a dealer license, etc to be legal and comply with ATF regulations.
I would take the offer of the set of dies, for sale, or wait for the one's you have coming, and reload your ammo. Hard too wait, I know, but for safety of all concerned, that is what you will need too do. Bill K

Thumbs up Antecedotal Thought

Thanks guys - I appreciate you looking out for each other. I was really more interested in getting my hands on some brass to start building test loads while my brother was visiting from Alaska.

I spent some time tracking down dies in preparation for forming cases (cancelled my MidwayUSA backorder). I climbed into the closet under the stairs to determine status of available brass. A healthy dose of compulsive behavior schooled into me by dad ("Never leave brass on the ground.") combine with catholic guilty ("Don't be wasteful.") has resulted in a "Plethora". I am set for 20VTG and 17-222.

Thanks
