Which sizing die for 22BR Norma

[Lefty2506]

Since no vendor seems to clarify between Remington and Norma, can anyone recommend a FL bushing sizing die for a 22 BR Norma? Also, is there one brand that people tend to prefer for this cartridge over the others (Wilson, Forester, Redding)?

Thanks in advance!

I sell the LE Wilson 6br and you use a 249 bushing with Lapua brass.

I use Forster FL honed to .245. I turn all my necks and this gives the best runout period.

For a while I used my SAC 6BR FL Bushing die with a .247 bushing which works great.

I got tired of switching bushings and die setups between 6br and 22br so I got a LE Wilson 22BR FL Bushing die which works great also

Stupid question time. Does it take the same bushing as any of the other mfgs, or is Wilson's bushing design unique? Just curious.

Same as Redding.

I have a Redding FL sizing die that I feel over sizes the neck, a .239" pin gauge will fit thru it but a .240" will not. When my Lapua brass has been sized I can get a .216 pin gauge about a quarter of the way in neck so it is way oversized but the FL die sizes the neck further down than my bushing die so I use it for the initial step down from 6mm, then a mandrel to widen it. A loaded round is 0.249-0.250" and necks are about 0.0125" thickness. I will use a bushing die for fired brass with .245- .247" bushing.

+1 for Forster.

I prefer Forster Honed Dies to bushing dies and as a result no donuts on the neck
