C-fish,
Some rifle just like the jump and do not care if it gets real long. When talking about such things, I like to use the 6.5x55 Swede as an example. The original 6.5x55 barrel is set up for a 156-160 gr bullet. With an 85gr Sierra they will shoot sub .5 inch groups all day. The bullet jump with the 85s has to be near the entire length of the 85s, yet they still shoot just fine.
Glad you got good results from yer 17. 
Ed
