Default dummy request on 20 cal 222

Small favor to ask.

I'll be having a custom reamer made due to the few that are available, relatively speaking, in a 20 caliber 222Rem.

I see very little difference in terms of performance when comparing the 20Bobcat, 20Duster, 20Extreme, 20-222, etc. I realize there are differences regarding case prep and some require fireforming, these differences are of no consequence on which 222 wildcat I decide on. So any of these will work for my build.

If I could have:

A dummy round with a bullet seated in a once/twice fired case
A dummy round with a bullet seated in a virgin case
A virgin 222
A once fired case with no sizing
A once fired case that has been sized

The more variances of the 222 that I have to provide my reamer manufacturer, the more information they'll have to help facilitate in the build of that reamer.

I will take care of shipping and your time invested.

PM me for those able to help me out.

Thank you

For what it's worth, JGS had the 20-222 reamer in stock that I used for my 20-222 build. Tell the reamer company what brass you plan to use because there are different reamer specs for different brass specs and you should be good to go. I'm no fan of turning necks, with Lapua brass and my intended use, don't see a need to do so, so my reamer is a no turn spec reamer.

He didn't build mine but Kevin Weaver builds a pretty good gun and has a couple different 20-222 reamers, as well as, he is a wealth of knowledge so maybe consider having him build your gun, I know Kevin has built many 20-222's over the years.

Default 20-222

Redding type S bushing dies in 222 remington with 20 caliber bushing can work really well in case sizing.

I use them for a 20 practical {223 Remington parent case} on the Weaver reamer print by PTG.
