Hi Peter,

do those number reference PTG reamers? Will they send me the drawings so that I can compare?

Kindest regards,

M

Default PT&G Reamer Prints

Mefizto, those are both PT&G reamer numbers for 20-222 reamers with .232 necks. The 3496 has a short free bore, and many seem to like it for 32 thru 40gr bullets. I do not have a rifle chambered with it, so no first hand experience. The 17554 is slightly longer free bore.

In my experience, PT&G will send you prints, just a phone call away. They email them. If you want something that has different dimensions than these designs, it will require a little more leg work. Certainly possible, and they may have what you want.

Best of luck, Peter.

He knows what he's doing.
Anyway, I built a 20 practical which I liked. I was hooked on the 20 for praire dogs mostly.
Since I like experimenting and have a bunch of Norma 222 brass saved up. I decided to have a 20-222 reamer made. All I did was trim off .85 and neck it down, Sent a couple prepped brass in to PTG and had Kiff make a reamer. Simple Simple simple. Redding S-type FL 222 die and a Vickermans seater is what I use. A standard 222 seater will work just fine.
Shooting sub 1/2 moa using the 35 gr Bergers with Exterminator powder. 3950fps. I built 2 using 700 actions. In my opinion the 204 Ruger is obsolete. In fact I had my gunsmith rechamber a Cooper 204 to the 20-222. Same velocity, less powder, cheap brass.
The 204 Ruger is obsolete, first I’ve heard of that. And I’m not sure how a 20/222 beats the 204R in velocity, at max charge of both.

204 Obsolete ? Hardly. It is just one of a line up of very fine 20 caliber cartridges. Each has a place and a person should have at least three of the one's in it. Bill K
