22br back to 6br

[46490]

After sizing 6mm Norma BR cases to 22 br - can the 22br case be resized (expanded) back to 6br? These are Lapua cases.

 

[double pumper]

yes!

Sure...personally I would anneal them first though.

Normally if you have a tight chamber you have turned your necks, I would think that it would be harder to expand them and have the correct size? Is that not correct?

You should lose about a thou of wall thickness when going up from 22br to 6br. You would want to be sure that's acceptable for your chamber and die bushings.
