Load 22 BR with 6BR Die with Bushing Change?

[pitbull]

Would it be possible to load 22br with 6br bushing dies. Just replaced the bushing with maybe .247 or whatever it requires?? THANKS

Yep. I've loaded thousands of them using a redding full length type s die. Depending on brass used, .247-.250 bushing was used.

same here, 6BR die with a .249 bushing

ETA: I guess I should add that is for no-turn Lapua

Yup 249 or 248. I like 249.

FYI. The body of the f/l bushing die just re-forms the dimension of your fired Br case back to factory spec + your shoulder bump adjustment. You put in whatever bushing you want to reduce the fired-expanded neck down to the caliber you are shooting, ie 17, 20, 22, 6mm, 7mm or 30 cal. The bushing choice can be +/- a few thou depending on your calculations for desired neck tension.

Short Action Customs is selling something they call a modular die that takes advantage of this, but with a slight wrinkle. Their bushings size the neck all the way to the shoulder. I have one of their “BR” cartridge family dies and some of the neck and shoulder bushings in the 30-BR size range. The dies and the bushings are pricey. If you don’t care about re-sizing all the way down to the shoulder, as others said above, you can do the same thing a lot cheaper with other dies and bushings.

I know the thread question has been answered. Was just going to add, I do the same thing to 6br with a 30br die, just change bushings. I've been told there's a portion of the shoulder that won't get touched, but several thousand rds down range and the targets Don't lie.
22br with a 6br die. Change the bushing out, owl yeah.

I had one too, made by Tubb. It is an ingenious concept and will definitely produce more consistent brass with less runout. But the slightly straighter ammo it produces wont make any diff on paper if you know how to uniform brass and use a quality std bushing die properly. This is how you politely say 'waste of money' in reloading lingo.

I use a 22BR body die to bump the shoulder. I had some clickers with other methods.
