The M158 was chambered in 30-30 and 357Max, so it should be fine.

I have one in 22 Hornet and one 30-30. I don't know the operating pressure of the 17 ackley bee, so I hope those two help.

I thank God everyday for my loving wife and all the fond memories of hunting with my Papa from a child until now.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!

I'm gonna do a 17HMR on a low pressure frame but do a Hornet first that will leave me metal for the Bee the 17rem 17 Fireball and the others. I think you will be alright.Maybe a 17 Rem Jet now that I got a 22 Jet.Kurt
