next lot of brass to go through from my Contender stock, is 17 Remington ( the 223 sized case necked down to 17 caliber, not the Fireball ) I have ( 50 ) of what I believe to be unfired factory primed 17 Remington R-P headstamp cases to give away... these have always been stored in a climate controlled environment, but I'd personally test a couple primers before loading them, as I wouldn't want to guess how long ago Remington sold factory primed cases... I do know they were my FIL's & he's been gone at least 17 years... one advantage of giving away these odd cailbers, is there are less names to have to draw from... must be a member here, I'll draw this name after 2-29-16, & these will be shipped free to the winner good luck... BTW... on any of the giveaways, I most likely have more cases, that I'll be selling at the one local gun show I go to, so on any of the calibers, it would be worth asking if I had any to sell, if you wanted more, they could be bought reasonably... otherwise they go on my brass table at the gun show  |

Awesome! Please put me in the hat. I love the little 17 Remington. I only have a 26" TC Encore bbl, but it's a shooter for sure... One of these days I'd like to pick up either a CZ 527 American or Rem 7 or 700 in 17 Remington!! A Cooper would be Sweet or even a Kimber custom.. I'm In, 50 pcs would be great, especially since I think I only have 15 or 20 pcs now I keep using... Thanks for your generosity! Ray BigBore44 |

Add me into the oddball category. I also have a Contender barrel in 17 Remington. Loading those tiny bullets is a fun way to frustration sometimes,,, but the results are FUN!

17 Remington was one of my FIL's favorite cartridges... I tend to prefer the 17 Fireball, & converted one 700 Remington originally chambered in 17 Remington ( with a shot out throat ) to 17 Fireball... he used to take the 17 & 223 on dogging trips a couple times a year... I remember being with him one time at the range... mother in law used to smoke Vantage cigs, & they kinda had a little target on the pack... he used to shoot those regularly... this particular day, he was trying to see just how fast he could load them to, & the bullets were coming apart before they got to the target ( whoops... maybe a little too hot... 4000 + fps )... probably didn't help the throat of that Remington 700, coupled with getting hot from shooting P doggies
I just pulled down a couple 100 223 military cases sized to 17 Remington, that he had loaded long ago, & never fired as 17 Remington for prairie dogging, ( BTW... these were mild loads, meant specifically for P dogging )to get them ready to sell at the Wells Gun Show... I'm thinning the Contender cartridge brass herd, to 250 per barrel, & the 17 Remington Condender barrel is the only gun I saved in 17 Remington... I'll be selling those cases with Remington 7.5 Benchrest primers at the show

Whoo-Hoo!!!!!!! MANY thanks!
I recently had a major re-organization of my gun room. I had a small 10'x12' room crammed with all my stuff. It was always a puzzle & effort to dig out something I wasn't using on a regular basis. The 17 Rem was one of those things. However,, I now have a much bigger room, (16'x20') with stuff out to where I can access it easily,, and that was one of the things I wanted to tinker with again. Extra brass will make it happen sooner!
Thanks again!

Congrats to you, Contender... Sounds like you have some room to expand now. If you're like me that might just mean more clutter and bigger messes!   HAHAHAAA Magwm Thank you again for the generous offer, and to be part of it... BigBore44 |
