Hi Guys
Like to have your opinion on what custom reamer/chamber for a 222,no neck turn.
Thanks Remy
 
why bother with a custom reamer if you aren't going to neck turn?Thats 1/2 the custom deal?:confused:
 
Yes your wright about that ,but the competion its meant for allows for a stadard chamber ,that is it has to allow commercial round to be chambred,for hunter class here in Italy

would a 222&1/2 be allowable i never had one but i believe they had the shoulder blown forward etc. one of the long timers may be able to clarify the exact dimensions for you.Jim:cool:
 
Hi
Thanks for your reply,i dont think so here we have a National Catalog that means the gun has to meet requied measurements,i was thinking more of a cutom chamber and then have the reamer made no NT.

Something around a .250 inch neck diameter would give a tighter "no turn" fit. To be sure, measure the ammunition you will use and have a reamer made with a neck diameter about .002 inch larger.
 
saami min spec chamber reamer.....you could look at the cartridge design drawing. there is some clearance between the two....you might be able to go a little below min chamber.

I agree

I have a .223 reamer with a .250" neck. I don't have to turn the necks at all, and it does come out to about .002" neck clearance as Henrya said. After the first few shots, the bullet just slides in the case mouth with a very close fit. After a few more shots if I don't anneal the necks, the bullet will actually go in with a light seating effort. The 222 neck thickness should be about identical to the 223. Use a ball mic to sort your unturned necks, and you'll almost equal neck-turned accuracy.

Some years ago, I bought a 40xb-br from remington which had a .250 neck.
as near as I can tell, 4500 rds later my necks never thickened. It shot very well. Pat McMillian told me it was the best shooting 222 he had
ever seen. Never neck turned a case
