Fireforming Lapua 220 Russian cases into 22PPC

[Dave T]

I have fire formed hundreds of 220 Russian cases into 6PPC but never into 22PPC. Please I need feed back from folks that have fire formed brass into 22PPC. I'm sure it's the same process as 6PPC but I want to make sure I do it right. What's was your load? Thanks.

Its exactly the same without the expanding. Size until you get a light crush fit, fill with your normal powder (the taper in the case makes the reduced load perfect for forming) then fire

I fill the case with Bullseye, plug it with paraffin "wax". I don't like to waste bullets or wear the barrell. If you are using a turned neck you will need to expand a few thousands and turn.
