[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 530002, member: 25383"] if you have a heavy duty press (Rockchucker or a Co-Ax) forming these case is not hard todo. I formed .222 cases out of Lake City pick up brass with very little effort in my Co-Ax. But by going down to 20 caliber the effort will be increased a little bit. If you have a bushing die, I'd go with the biggest 20 caliber bushing or the smallest 22 caliber bushing I could lay my hands on .246 Bushing for starters, and set the shoulder up about .04" long. Then go down to a .240 bushing without the sizing ball installed, and put the shoulder about .005" long. Measure the I.D. of the neck and adjust from there. You'll mess up a few cases getting there (I always do anyway). Once you get close all you need todo is turn the necks and finish up right on size. You'll come out with a better case in the end. gary [/QUOTE]
