22 PPC Barrel Markings - ???

[WillieBBad]

I have 22 PPC that was built on a BAT action by Jerry Simison.

The barrel has some marking that I would like help in identifying. Pic is attached.

I think that the 244 ND refers to the required outside neck diameter, but what is the .095?

My thanks, in advance, for some help/advice.

.095 is probably your freebore and as you already guessed, .244 is your neck diameter.

its not possibly a PPC-short is it? i see a - symbol
was 095 a common short?

i know a lot of 22ppc were 100 short

Many thanks guys! I've run some new 220 Russian, and also some new Norma 22 PPC brass though a Redding 22 PPC full length sizing die, and trimmed the lengths to 1.495 OAL. I've also outside neck trimmed both brass to .238-.239. They won't chamber. Any suggestion(s) on what I should try next>

If it is a PPC short, how do I proceed?

If they dont chamber its most likely 095 short
make a cast of the chamber to know for sure

Then you either have it rechambered to a full length PPC or make some short brass

 

[WillieBBad]

Just to clarify, are you saying that the OAL on the brass should be shortened by .095?

Yes thats what it sounds like
push the shoulder back 095 and cut trim the length

again do a chamber cast to make sure

 

[WillieBBad]

I will. Never did a chamber cast, but there is always room for a learning experience. THANKS A BUNCH!!

Good call, guys. 22 PPC Short. I feel kinda dumb not thinking that.

 

[Ggmac]

If brass forming is too much work , have the riflechamber recut to a more std ppc .

 

[Mulligan]

Waldog and short ppc brass is not difficult to make, it does take a little extra time but not much.

I'm going to try forming the brass. Thanks again, guys, for all of your insight and help! Much appreciated!!

 

[BoydAllen]

I think it is .095 shorter than a standard .22PPC. The other number is the chamber neck dia. I suggest you PM Mulligan about forming brass.

Years ago when I made some 22PPC-.100 cases, I just used an cheapo used 22-250 f.l. die and kept shortening the back end until a 220R Lapua case with the neck cut off it would just chamber with a stripped bolt. A shortened 22-250 die is actually what Mike Ratigan recommends for the 22PPC-.100 in his book. -Al
