I have yet to find a 617 cylinder with chambers a SAAMI spec finishing reamer will "drop in", they have all been undersize. I shot a 22 revolver steel challenge match 4th of July weekend last year with 40 some other shooters with 17's or (mostly) 617's. The ones who hadn't had the chambers reamed were wishing they had. They were they the ones looking for something to hit the ejector rod with.
