[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 861361, member: 25383"] I'm working on a .223 experiment right now (we not exactly this minute). The cases are going to be Lake City N.M. that are once fired. The rifles that shoot them are police sniper's rifles with match chambers. Getting the cases took a lot of arm pulling, and calling in at least three markers. These are not run of the mill Lake City cases. Supposed to get at least 500, and probably closer to 1000 cases. The cases are built heavier than what I now use, and that's important right now. About 100 of them will end up being resized to .222 Remington with a .244" neck diameter. I figure I'll go thru a 150 cases to get them into the window I'm after. Then it's onto the .223 project. These cases will be built for the Remington only. I want to tighten the neck up at least .003", after turning them. The cases I have right now are shaved to about .241" to .242", and go into a .246" chamber. I want to try a true .244" finished neck. Can't get there with any commercial cases I've found yet. I am trying to pick up another .075" to .100" in my groups sizes. I figure that if I cut .10" out of the five shot groups, I can gain another 75 yards of usable range. But then I'd also wish it had a ten twist barrel! gary [/QUOTE]
