dummy request on any 20 cal 222

[master_photog]

I wonder if you need to talk to someone else at JGS because they had this 20-222 reamer, see attached print, sitting on the shelf ready to ship when I had mine built and that was only a little over a year ago.

This was a quickie load my smith shot when he was test firing it. H322 and 40gr Bergers.

I'm getting the same responses from the other reamer shops too.

It appears I will likely be doing the custom ordering.

Thanks all for the guidance, suggestions and shared knowledge. If you notice the date as to when this thread and my build started, that's when all hell broke loose. So, it's been quite the wait on a lot of this hardware, but definitely worth it.

For those that offered suggestions on the reamer, I ended up going with Dave Manson. Ray and the team was equally as helpful as those on this thread!

Many thanks again!!

Have any details on the build? I've been thinking about that action, caliber, and brass for awhile.

tcmikey,

It's built around a Kelbly Atlas Tactical, Krieger 24" 11 twist and Mcmillan Remington Classic.

Thanks Tom, I enjoy it so much that I'm going to build another on a PacNor 8.5 twist to stabilize heavier projectiles.

The action will be the same, but I'm doing something I've never done on this one. I picked up a stock blank. I figured with all the shortages of everything, components might be back to normal stocking levels once this is done.

I have a 20 Extreme and it is fabulous design, shooting a wide variety of powders and bullets extremely well, and my rifle is nothing special a CZ 527 varmint 204 setback and rechambered to 20 extreme. My powder of choice is Reloder 7 for 32 gr Vmax, and 8208 XBR for 40gr bullets
