@ herpestes. Are you bumping up the neck above .243 to make a false shoulder or did you have the chamber reamer made special or...... ? Let us know how you do your cases for the first fireing.

A nice group. I'm impressed.
I've entertained myself with a 6 x 222 mag Ackley. 70 Sierra Blitz King @ 3200 fps.Hope it reaches your accuracy level.

That looks just like the dime I used to have!
Mine did not have a hole in it, though! So, I guess it is a different one!

Default 6 TCU Loading

I responded earlier on the 6 TCU loading Thread. To refresh I have a Rem 722 that has a Douglas 6mm varmint barrel chambered 6 TCU.

Today a rainy day I am starting to size 50 Winchester cases .223 fire formed twice to 6 TCU. The 6 TCU is a tricky case to set up sizing dies, Short neck and 40-60 degree shoulder takes extra care so as to not buldge (balloon) the shoulder. The ballon comes when the the inside of die is set too far down actually forming another case, such improper sizing probably will not chamber anyway. Bad ju ju.

When you size any bottle neck case watch the lube line on the neck after sizing trying to keep the neck sizing portion of your die from moving into the shoulder portion. Ideally you will see your lube line stopping at the juncture of the neck and shoulder. Back off if in doubt, never size so much that you start to put a roll on the case body /shoulder sharp line that fire forming gives you.

My barrel is 21 1/2" stiff .890" muzzle. Leupold 12X AO scope. Factory trigger adjusted to 36 oz. Factory tru-oiled stock. 10lb rifle. Nice gun.

I load bullets I make 66 grn. and any factory bullets I also load Sierra, Hornady, Speer makes little difference as primers little difference, I have most brands. For powder my go to ones are 748, 322, 4198, 4895.

Nice gun to shoot, minimal recoil. Not as accurate as my 6x47 Remington but not for hire or sale.
