Don't have a 17 so not much help there , however I do own a hand full of 22 hornets & K-Hornets and can attest to the neck thickness being all over the map . That and with the hornet brass being thin and soft I can see loosing a bunch trying to down size 22 to 17 .
Best bet is just buy 17 brass to start with , more range time and less headaches .
