Re: 20 Vt case forming
From the little off read there isn't much difference between 20/222 and the 20vt is there ?

Re: 20 Vt case forming
Did you need to anneal the Sako brass? I just bought 300, and was considering forming them down to 221 or 17 fireball.

Re: 20 Vt case forming
Ti be honest Jack, there isn't a real lot of difference between the whole lot of the 20 cals built on that head size case, whats a couple of hundred fps really mean when used in normal varminting ranges, a poofteenth difference in flatness over those distances isn't really going to make that much difference.jacksaligari wrote:From the little off read there isn't much difference between 20/222 and the 20vt is there ?

Redding 221 fireball form and trim die
Re: 20 Vt case forming
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?
