221 is easiest next is 222 then 223, 204 or 222mag.
But as Kickin said 223 is sometimes cheaper.

Re: 20 Vt case forming
when I did it was because I had lapua 223 cases and sold the 223. Even if you are a lapua fan they make 221 brass now (I did this for a 17mach 4 and lost the first three cases when trying to expand the neck to get the turner in. Then annealed and lost no more)michaeljp wrote:Thanks missed,
So you size a 223 case in the 221 form die then size again in a 20VT die, yes? What advantage is there in forming a 20VT case from a 223 case?
Re: 20 Vt case forming
Im using Lapua 221 brass Trev but i saw the trimmed case length of "missed" at 1.399" . Most of the lapua's in a box will be 1.395" with a few longer and a few shorter.
