Yup. I couldn't recall when someone had ask me recently if I used a smaller ball or a bigger ball when I re-barreled a Stevens to a .17 Fireball. After some back 'n fourth chatter it was determined that I must have used a bigger ball as a smaller ball would have caused me bigger problems.
So, the moral of the story is......Bigger Balls always cause smaller problems. Errr....something like that. But the little 17 Firball will extract and eject. Just don't attempt to do it with a limp wrist.
