Where to find 22 BR Norma dies

[Lefty2506]

I'm getting close to being able to start on my 22BR build. I want to start collecting components if I can find them on sale, and with the holiday shopping season coming up, the odds of that happening are a little higher. My plan is to use a Redding full length S die and a Forester competition seating die (but I'd use anything of similar design). On another thread on here, it stated that the Redding S dies for 22BR Norma are PN 77316. When I googled that, what comes up from both Midsouth and Grafs is a 22 BR Remington die, and both sites list the mfg PN as 77316. Then there's the LE Wilson stuff which doesn't even state whether its for the Remington chamber or not (I'm assuming Rem unless the description says otherwise). Thus far, I haven't found any thing for the Norma 22BR chamber. It does look like I can get the Redding S die in 6mm BR Norma, but I'm only seeing it as part of a set.

On the brass, the difference is the neck length. Buy the Redding Tp-S Dies 77316.

Got it. I thought there were some very minor differences in a couple of the datums for the shoulder and body as well, but it sounds like the 22BR Remington sizing die should work.

For my customers, they use LE WILSON 6br die I sell with a 249 bushing.

6BR Lapua/Norma bushing die!! Adjust the neck tension to where YOU want it with bushings.
And, if you get/use BUMP dies, no trimming needed.
6BR Remington dies are NOT the same unless you're shooting a BR "Remington" round!!
Might work but why bother if you can get the proper dies needed?

Since I plan on using one of your barrels, this sure seems like a good easy button....

Depending on your schedule, I have dies and a chamber reamer for 22 BR. I played with it for heavy bullets and fast twist. Very few of the bullets made it to paper. Appeared to be a varying twist rate ... no more button rifled barrels...

I can search for dies and brass here in TX. Reamer likely back in CA. Not sure what my possible schedule is to get back there. Hopefully before they haul my machines and Lista cabinets to scrap...

I use the forster dies and redding dies for the 22BR
I'd have to look at the box to see if there's a number on the side
Someone may correct me if Im wrong but I think the main dif
22 BR Rem had a 1.520" oal case length
the rest such as Norma has a 1.560" OAl Case length
I do know all my chambers are 1.560" chambers
Forster Set - $113

I forget dimensions on mine, but I wanted to turn the necks on my build. Moving brass doesn’t always move evenly. Basically just did skim turn to even things up. Buddy used the same reamer and he refused to turn. Mine shoots a bit better.
22BR was a joy to work with
