I was able to get a dummy 20PPC round tonight but no chance of a 17 at the moment. I need to find my neck sizing dies and see if i can do the whole neck without a FL die. The one issue i had was the primer punch on the Wilson PPC Neck dies is too fat to go in a 20PPC neck.

That 20PPC is a nice looking round.

What action are you going to use Seddo?

Looks good Seddo, I have been toying with the idea of a 17PPC that is shortened up a bit, I am keen to see how yours performs

Chris,

Stuart Elliot should have a short 17ppc reamer...I know he or Annie has a rifle in that calibre...also know a bloke with a full length 17ppc but even 30g Bergers were vaporizing before they hit the target.

It sounds like it's going to be fun to sort out. Got onto Hornady and ordered a set of custom FL dies, now I won't have to stuff around with bushings.
