The deference between the russian and PPC for memory is the body taper is just about taken out, and the shoulder is moved forward slightly and shoulder angle is slightly greater.

So Glenn could you go through the steps to get the loaded case please ?
Perhaps in the Ammo & Reloading thread ?

Yeah no neck turn.
Not got anyone sorted for that yet. But I'm here in the West and I'll speak to my gunsmith he probably won't do it but will indicate who to use.

You know what ? I think I prefer the Beggs version, feeding wouldn't be a problem and there wouldn't be too much loss of speed. Either way, they are good looking cases.

Yes well thats the beauty of body and neck dies and specially redding type bushing one for the body and pick a neck size :lol:

I am going to do this with my 6.5AI necked up to 358....only problem is no 358 bushings but there are other 358 neck dies I can use. CH4D do a bushing die from 17 or 20 I think heck maybe it is 22 up to 450 so might just grab one.
