20 Beggs

[BobW]

In 2008 I got a reamer for a no turn 220 Russian in 20 Caliber. At that time not too many shooters had this cartridge. Gene Beggs was campaigning the 220 Beggs at the time. I took my bench gun and had a new barrel cut and put on. Great cartridge and accurate.

I put the rifle away in the safe and forgot about it. Now I'm dusting if off and can't remember my load data and some of the loading hints.

At the time I got a bushing sizing die from Gene Beggs and put a bushing in it. Can't remember what size bushing I used to neck the the 220 down to a twenty.

Can someone help me out on what size of the bushing I need?. It's for varmint shooting not bench rest.

I use a Wilson seater die but another question is have they come out with a regular set of dies for this cartridge.

thanks

Bob

Im pretty sure mr beggs has a line with hornady to produce the dies to his specs. As far as data and such give him a call- hes a great shooter and very friendly and can answer your questions better than anybody!

If I remember correctly mine has a .228" bushing. It's a very pleasant shooter.
