I have a 10/22 magnum, single extractor with a Butler Creek 22 mag bbl, and a ruger 17 HMR bbl, I believe I read somewhere that I may need to use a heavier bolt handle to shoot the 17 HMR?
I did install a Volquartsen Performance trigger Kit and their extractor.

Nothing needed... the heavy bolt handle is for the .17HM2 when running a standard .22LR bolt.

The heavy bolt of the 10/22M works just fine as is with the .17HMR... before I got my Volquartsen, I used a 96/17M barrel (same shank dimensions as the 10/22M) on a 10/22M receiver with no problems.
