Forming 20 VT, 20-222 30°, 6XC, 6BR

[TAJ45]

Over the years, I've somehow ended up w dies for which I've never had chambered rifles. Orrrr, for chambers I've never had rifles for. (Can't heppit but couldn't end a sentence with a preposition)

Anyhoo, I have sizers for the 221 FB, 19-223, 20 Prac, 222, several 223 (I haven't measured the end result of any of them), 22BR, 6XC, 6BR I do have the PBike form dies going down to .20.
I have also considered the possibility of reaming the necks using fractional, metric, lettered or numbered reamers Well before final sizing for speed of neck thickness redux and removing vestiges of a doughnut and/or turning for match Fclass ammo.
I also plan on exploring turning Palma into XC for match. Std 308 into practice XC w the Paul Bike dies.
My thoughts were using the reamer part way through the redux. LIt took me many years to stop smarting from reaming the MANY cases too late when making the 30 Herrett. Yes, I was in waaay over my head in '75.

Any suggestions for sequencing very welcome.
Looking fwd to them.

When there's a will there's a way.

I've made cases for 17fb from 223 222 204 etc



I've made 6.5x47 from 22-250 243 when cases weren't available.



Just a example, Ive made cases of a couple other wildcats also. Mostly from using cheap common Lee dies modified to do a job.

As said, when there's a will there's a way. Trial and error till you get it right. Be prepared to wreck a few cases. Most of all have fun.... Making something from something else.

I make 20VT and 20SCC with 3- double ended forming dies from LC 223 brass that are chamfered to build the shoulder just like the pics above. I take a fired a formed case put in in the shell holder screw the die down untill it touches and then turn the die down about a 1/8 of a turn more.
After its cut to length, necks chamfered and turned to thickness I want I run them through FL die to make sure they chamber.
Load and shoot, usually I have to trim once more to all to same length.
