    Mate scored one from an engineering shop in Papakura. Only one they had and they had had it for yonks. Ebay is another source. Been meaning to get one myself.

    @northdude did you get the tap and die?
    I have just received the tap for the huge price of NZ$5.57 ex Ebay and China. Quality looks great.

    How are you expanding the necks?
    You could size but too tight. Fired case too big.
    Iv sized a 6br to 22br but now need to expand the neck a little. I might instead get a mate to lathe out half a thou.

    Use a Lee collet neck die or roll the neck on a piece of wood and they tighten up!

    But I'm trying to loosen it a bit. The factory ones iv brought are about half a thou over projectile size.

    So as far as 22 cal, I need to size, over size say .2245 or expand .224 to .2245
