Wanting to maybe rechamber a .17 HMR to a .17 CCM...

[HHI 812]

and wondering how expensive dies could be? Difference, advantages/disadvantages between threaded dies and arbor type dies? Can the arbor dies still bump the shoulders back? Thanks for any advise,

Have you talked with the Cooper folks? I'd imagine they would be the source for dies. If not I'd ask Todd Kindler at the Woodchuck Den. In such a small case I'm sure you could bump the shoulders back with arbor press dies if that's what you wanted to use. BTW, what gun are you thinking about doing this to? What are you going to do about the RF vs. CF change, or are you thinking about a Contender?
BTW, from the outset I thought they should have made the HRM on the same dimensions as the CCM and sold rifles with interchangable bolt faces. Reload if you want to, if not buy rimfire ammo!

I picked up two boxes of .17 CCM ammo at a gun show recently. Don't have the gun, but cartridges looked so neat.

Buying ammo for a gun you dont have...just about as bad as me.....

stuff at a deal, and didn't have a 454. But solved that a couple tables down. But as most know me, that is only 25 454's I've gone through.
