.220 Russian specs

[Malcolm47]

I've been trying to find a drawing with measurements of the .220 Russian cartridge. The drawing I'm refering to is the picture at the top of reloading data in reloading manuals. Does anybody know where I can find this info? Thanks for the info...............Malcolm

I'd generate one from QuickDesign, but curiously, it doesn't seem to have the 220 Russian in its database. Here's a drawing from StevesPages.com :

If you're thinking of having a reamer made, I strongly advice measuring off an actual piece of Lapua 220 Russian brass. Sometimes the diagrams are not 100% current.

Thanks a lot for the info. I'm going to book mark that web page for reference. I'm not going to have a reamer made for this cartridge, I just wanted to know what it looked like before it was fire formed into a 6PPC.
