The shoulder is bumped back .005" on the 222 case with the 30* shoulder.

Trev, I can't afford it. A brand new donor in 222 is $480.

May I borrow the machball dies for a short while please?

Cheers.

Sounds like a sweet case different enough and very meaningful Glen. Will get those 17s really moving.

Do you want the normal dies or the case forming ones or both?

Will talk Friday. It may take a while to get to you but please be patient.

Thanks Trev.

Ever since reading about the Javelina I thought it would be a great case in the martini being a touch shorter than the 222 rimmed cases I use now but pack a bit more punch than the fireball / macho 1V.

I look forward to seeing what results you get out of it.

Lots of talk on Saubier the Javelina is a pain to form but with all dies and info around it should just be a matter of a few steps. Dies pretty easy like you are already chasing pretty easy to shorten a 222 die with your experience.

My great uncle was a toolmaker, made his own micrometers etc and still have them and still as accurate as commercial stuff. Pity he suffered from mental health and my brother and I never met him. He fooled around with martinis quite a bit and basically a 218 bee but with the 310 case as a parent. Typically for that era the rifle and gear he had was given or sold.

So understand any sentimental attachment..Ideas on stock or anything yet?
