22BR Norma - Chicken or Egg

[jiwilliams]

I'm going to have a barrel chambered for 22BR Norma with a .253/.254 neck.

I'm going to order up some 6mmBr Lapua brass.

What dies do you suggest to form the brass / size between firings and do my seating?

I've read old threads about sending a die off with fired cases to have it custom reamed to match but this is a bit of chicken and egg in that I can't get loaded ammo to fire without the dies nor dies without the fired cases.

The commercial dies I see from Forester/Redding etc, all say 22BR Rem, does anyone make a 22BR Norma die set??

Thanks!

I run 6mm BR Lapua brass through a Redding 22BR die and then turn the necks. Works for me!

That works for me too...
I just run em through the Redding 22BR die and then do any turning that needs done.
The new dies are all for the Norma or Laupa case......

Thanks, I feel better about this project now.
