Thread: Forming 221 Fireball / 20 Vartarg brass

Hello, don't know if this is the right place to show some steps I form 20 Vartarg brass from 223 Rem. I am posting it cos I just received rifle back for rechambering. Had it before in 223 rem.

Tools used:

- 221 form die > chop excess necks off with cheapo mini cut off saw > run cases again thru 20VT type S busing FL die (.227" bushings) > trim cases to 1.4" > run cases thru expander die > turn case necks to 0.0125" thick. > anneal > again thru 20VT FL die > load > shoot (fireform).

I have here some pics of the steps taken. I turned down a few necks so when I get it running, I can post more pics if you guys are interested. Hope you enjoy

20VT die and cases:



Trim die. I should have taken the ones with looong necks, but it works...
