17 fireball brass?

[cr5]

I just picked up a Remington 700 SPS in 17 Fireball, anyone know where to buy brass for it? I already found dies and bullets but everyone seems to be sold out of brass around Edmonton.

Thanks

Tres difficult to find these days.

I have made some by necking down 221 FB but you have to turn the necks first or you end up with too much neck thickness. I also made some by trimming and necking down 223 cases. Not sure if I had to neck turn those ones or not.

I'll keep my eyes open and clean them out whenever I see it from now on.

Suputin,

17 Rem brass? I called down there last week and they said none there in the last year.

Apparently, Lapua is going to start producing .221 FB brass in 2014. Even if it's more work than you may have wanted at least there will be a dependable supply of quality brass.
