You said in another thread what you got was an LVSF. Ive got one as well and I had some trouble at first with that j-lock deal on the bolt. It got replaced quickly. FWIW every rifle is different but mine did not like max loads...it would blow primers, and the .17 being what it is you need to work up loads GRADUALLY.....1/2 grain can make a big difference in pressure.
Thanks for the info. As I said, I've never reloaded for a 17, and I figured that such a small capacity case could be tricky. I intend to proceed with caution.
