a 17 caliber bullet at 3500 fps doesn't know how it got there, be it from the 17 rem, a 17-32 jet or some other cartridge, the terminal ballistics will be the same on target. as to the characteristics of loading the 17 rem to that level, I cant answer that as I never tried it and I don't have one anymore.
I understand what you are saying. My concern is that some times a cartridge shows its best accuracy at higher pressures. However, I have never loaded for any 17 before so seeking wisdom from those who have.
