[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 411660, member: 12282"] Go with the 22-250 or .220 swift etc etc The RWS 5.6x57 is a very hot number, but brass is almost impossible to find and as far as I can tell, cannot be made from other brass. Even if you can find a reamer to have the chamber done, it will be with the heavy neck, which means you'll have to stick with that neck thickness. I don't really know much about reloaded case life -- annealing would extend it. But why... Come to your senses -- building a novel caliber just for the sake of it is mad... [/QUOTE]
