Sorry Tesla, I didn't make myself clear. I was referring to using a standard 6BR die to FL size a 6BRX case. Since the BRX case body is .100 longer than the standard case I was asking "what supports the bottom of the case" while sizing?

I'm a bit surprised. What supports the bottom of the case?

Thanks guys...I bought a standard 6BR FL die and used it to set the false shoulder (after expanding all of the necks with a .257 mandrel). I'm using the Lapua blue box brass, 30 gr. Varget, Berger 105 VLDs seated +.010, Fed 205 primers. Accuracy is amazing at 100 yds. Velocity from my 30 inch...

Gentlemen, I've researched this site on this subject but mostly the debate has been whether to simply jam a bullet into the rifling and fire OR to form a false shoulder, jam a bullet then fire it. Based on experience forming 22PPC cases from 220 Russian brass, I am firmly in the camp of the...

Cooper Model 21 / 22 PPC I have a Cooper Varminter Model 21 in 22 PPC that I purchased in 1999. It has a .252 chamber neck diameter. Lapua brass must be turned to fit. With Berger 52 FB match bullets (.2247 at pressure ring) my loaded rounds measure .2492 at the case neck. Love the rifle...

I had lots of IMR 4350 on hand so I loaded up some test cartridges and headed to the range yesterday with my 788 Remington. New lapua cases, CCI 200 primers, Nosler 95 gr. Ballistic Tip seated .005 short of the point where the rifling marks begin. Started at 40 grains of powder and got a 1.2...

What an outstanding photograph TomD. I was at Arlington last summer and did not see this. Good discussion here of the War Between the States here by the way. This very interesting subject was foremost in my thoughts over the weekend as I visited an old family cemetery near Wilkesboro, NC were...

Hodgdon or IMR? What are the differences? What do you like and dislike? Trying to decide on a hunting load with 95 grain Ballistic Tips in a 243 Winchester. Factory gun..old model 788 Remington.

I have some 168gr Sierra MatchKings and would appreciate some suggestions for an accuracy load in a 24 1/2 inch barreled 7MM Remington Magnum sporter. I'll be shooting 100 and 200 yards and have the following powders on hand: H-1000, IMR 4831, H4831sc, RL 22, IMR 4350, VV N140, VV N160...

Definitely a hunting rifle. I'll start about .005 short of where the rifling marks disappear and only move in one direction later on. Thanks for the comment.

Where is the best seating depth to start load development? I have a 7 mm Remington Magnum hunting rig with a brand new 24 1/2 Douglas barrel. I have fired a total of 60 rounds of 140 grain Berger 140 gr. VLD's, new WW cases, Fed 215M primers, using RL 22 from 65 to 70 grains. A couple of...

I've had the cheapo Shooting Chrony for about 15 years. I've replaced the plastic diffusers once (they got brittle and cracked). Used it yesterday all afternoon, still works great.

OK Al...I made a dummy round Dummy round loaded with 52 gr. Watson bullet OD=.2522 (Watson bullet measured .2245 at pressure ring) Once fired (neck turned) case OD neck= .2510 (loaded case neck OD before firing was .2492) this once fired case chambers easily with just some slight resistance...

It's been 10 years since I've fireformed for my 22PPC. I need a quick refresher course. My previously fired Lapua brass (neck turned) measures .2491 at the neck when loaded. After firing the necks measure .2511. Could someone please give me the basic steps in fireforming? I THINK the case...

Norma Brass Thanks Ken... Sinclair told me they didn't sell it anymore.

KenR...where can Norma 22 PPC USA brass be purchased?

Are these all the same chamber with matching demensions? I own a Cooper stamped 22 PPC USA.

Cale...I incorrectly stated that my H322 load in the 22 PPC fills the case to where "the body meets the shoulder" In reality the case is filled to where the shoulder meets the neck. sorry for the mistake. Does this change your comment? Am i overloaded? I have fired 200 rounds this way.
