I am also having this problem but with a 6-284 Win Type-S Full Length Sizer die from Redding. I have the die adjusted so that the shellholder has the press ram "cam" slightly at full stroke. My bushing has the numbers up in the die. I am getting about 3/4 of the neck sized, but this is...

Thanks for the reply! Actually that is where I found out most of my info about the 22 BR. Honestly, it doesn't say much about it. Just general info about bullets, powder and some load data. The article also mentions how to form the brass. But really, that is about all. :P

Hey everyone, I am thinking about a future rifle project chambered in the 22 BR. I have a few questions. What is the estimated barrel life of a 22 BR shooting the 40 - 55 grn bullets? Any draw backs to this little fast round? I am thinking varminting primarily with this round in the...

Recoil? There is supposed to be recoil with this rifle?!? I must be missing something. When you touch a round off, the rifle doesn't even budge! No muzzle rise or drive back at all! Mind you a 25 lbs+ rifle with a muzzle break helps with that. :D That is one of Kirbys Custom Made muzzle...

Ok, I was able to get some shots of the rifle itself today. So, here they are: A side view of the rifle: A close up of the action: A top down view of the rifle A close up of the scope mounting system I am using A side view of the rifle plus the case The...

Hey Everyone, Well, I am finally getting around to posting some results with my new Allen Precision Shooting Heavy Xtreme 6-284. I picked this rifle up from the US border on Jan 16, 2008. It has been terrible weather the last little while, so I have JUST gotten around to breaking in the...

Ok, thanks for the help guys! Hopefully I will have some time to experiment this weekend.

Hey Guys, I am starting to play around with seating depths in most of my rifles. The question is, which shoots better: seating into the lands by say 0.005" or "jumping" the bullet to the lands? If seating into the lands, typically how far should one be going? If "jumping", once again...

OK, thanks for the help guys! I am in the process of hunting down a 5/16" x 36 thread tap. Not an easy thing to find. Thanks again!

Thanks ss7mm! So, just so I know what I am looking for, which drill bit should I use? Get a 9/32 bit, drill out the center and tap using a 5/16" x 36 thread? Sorry for the noob questions. :P

Hey all, I have the Hornday Lock N Load Overall length measuring tool. I have some of the Modified cases that you can thread onto the gauge. The only problem is that they do not make a 6-284 modified case. So I would like to make my own out of a fire formed piece of brass. So the question...

Hey Everyone, I just recently picked up one the Hornady OGive bullet comparitors. So, my question is, if I have the "Optimum" Cart overall length for a given cartridge with a given caliber for a given bullet weight measured from base of case to bullet tip, then measure the cart overall...

My Swift likes RL 15 and IMR4831. IMR powders burn HOT! So you would be limited to about 3 shots then let the barrel cool. RL 15 will get you about 4-5 shots before you should cool the barrel. Other powders to try would be Varget, IMR4064 and H414. H414 is a sphere powder so it should...

The case life will go down drastically? I was under the impression that the case life was to go up due the the sharp defined shoulder. But, I really do not know either way as this would be my first Hornet. I actually have a .223 Rem, .22-250 Rem, and a .220 Swift. I was looking at a high...

Hey guys, I am thinking about getting a 22 K Hornet for under $1000. Which would be a better set up: 1) Getting a Savage model 40 in 22 Hornet, then have it re-chambered into 22 K Hornet Or 2) Getting a Thompson Center encore rifle then getting a Thompson Center custom shop barrel...
