welcome aboard from a transplanted buckeye. i'm originally from dayton. as you were warned above look over online loads very carefully. a great percentage are tried and true but you don't want to become a victim of hot loading. you can't have too many manuals and by simply cross checking loads the bad ones will stick out like a sore thumb. even if you are a rookie you can see the differences. and always remember no two rifles are alike in their preferences. as you have a 17 expect a lot of copper foulng very quickly. that caliber is known for fouling. barrel break in is very important with a 17 to properly smooth out the barrel. i have found wipe-out to be an excellent cleaner for the 17. insert it after you get home and leave it overnite and swab the bore the next day. it flat out removes the fouling. good luck with your new rifle and there is lots of help to be had about the 17 on line.
