22 BR no turn neck OD ?

[Baddog0302]

Long story very short, Going to add a 22BR to my Savage system and would appreciate some input on the "no turn" neck OD of a 22 BR to check the check the reamer Specs. of the "smith" cutting the chamber and ordering Redding beck die bushings.

Thank you

I run a .255" neck on my no turn 22 Dashers and it works well. For a bushing I use a 248 as my loaded rounds measure .251"

Edit: you could get by with a .254" if that's all the smith has

.254" and above.

What would be the ideal neck dia for the 22 BR with just dong a skim cut to true up the necks?

My .252" reamer is a skim cut required neck diameter. You can fire a virgin case, but if there's any carbon you'll get high pressure.

Forget the neck turning. Go with a .253 or .254 neck reamer and be done with it.
While you're busy turning neck, everybody else is out shooting bug holes.
Get busy shooting!!

peterson brass has been a 0.0005 thicker than lapua, leading to a larger loaded diameter. My loaded Peterson was creeping up on 0.252, which is snug in a 0.254 chamber, but has been working fine for a benchrest rifle that gets cleaned every 30-50rnds.

Take the thickness of the thickest brass you'll be using. multiply it by 2, and add that figure to .224. Add about 4 more thousandths, and you've got it.

I've got a tight neck 22 BR and it's a big pain in the ass. jd
