That's not possible, or safe, with a tight neck chamber. Since the OP mentioned turning necks, your method would be impossible and dangerous if he managed to get a round stuffed in the chamber.
I've ratted a 22 cal bullet down a 6mm bore with good results fire forming, fwiw.
Surely he would have the sense to turn the necks first. I expand the necks, turn them, size the neck, load a bullet at hard jam and shoot , simple. I use them as foulers, over several matches you have new cases and no extra rounds down a barrel.
That's exactly how I always make my PPC brass.
What sort of powder charge do you use? Thanks
Haven't done this in a while but a good place to start with 220R brass in a 6PPC is just a good load for the parent case. I believe it was 26.0gr of lt32 and a 53gr bullet. Loses pressure fast this way but the shoulders were formed pretty well for me.
did i say my necks were unturned, no . so do not make assumptions. i answered in context of his question.
No need to get bent out of shape. I was mearly pointing out that a 6mm bullet in an unturned neck in a tight neck chamber(the OP's case!) doesn't work. You didn't specify whether you turned necks or not. Makes no matter to me what you do.
I wouldn't let what he says influence me. your post was appropriate.
you had it right originally and should have stopped there.
Are any/many competitive shooters using Lapua made 6.5 Grendel brass to make 6PPC? Cause I'm planning to do another 300 pieces of 6PPC fairly soon. Assuming the brass thickness and everything else is the same ("should be"), this might be the easiest method.
