Jackets
I think some people get a bit wrapped around the axles as to jacket quality.
You can make a very good jacket out of the old 22 RF case. Apparently factory jackets are very good and consistent but I have never seen one yet here in Aust as they are horrendously expensive to import. My jackets vary no more than .001", drawn and pinched trimmed to length. I have shot some amazing groups even a .188". I can not do that all the time but .5-.7" is very normal. I make a long 17gn for my 17H which is a cracker and matching a projectile weight/ length to the rifle is a method of load development which I am a great supporter of. I make a 48gn round nose for my 22H which shoots better than a 47gn or a 49gn, so the comment above about a 20cal swaged 38gn projectile working better than all factory projectiles is one I understand very well.

17 jackets are doable with draw down dies..........
As an aside, I just looked on my cellphone and it is almost as warm in Missoula, MT where I am right now (37 deg. F) as it is in the Houston TX area where I live (40 deg. F). Both places expecting 30 degree overnight lows. Good for here, I guess, but Brrrrrrr for Houston weather........ -BCB

If you are referring to 17 caliber offerings, then that is quite an understatement as they now list only one bullet.
Not so long ago they listed: 15gr, 18gr, 20gr, 22gr, 25gr, 30gr and 37gr. And I have probably forgotten a few. It is a shame because we seem to have a growing powder selection now but a rapidly dwindling list of bullets from which to choose.
