I purchased a "sporterized" P17 from a friend of mine several years ago. He purchased it from an old retired rancher who had purchased it originally. Anyway, the P17's headspace is equal to my Ruger M77 Mk2 also a 30-06. And after swapping bolts my M1icon Garand also has the same headspace. Sure makes it easy to reload as I shoot the same reload in all 3 rifles. And yes I have the same movement in the P17.
