Am building a .20 Practical.
But, I want Lee collet dies made for me, but they need 3 fired cases, but I cannot load for this wildcat caliber, to sent them 3 fired case.
Solution: If someone with a .20 Practical has 3 sized unprimed, cases they could send me. I'll prime and fire-form in my Shilen barreled Stevens action. Then I can sent fired cases to Lee, they can make dies and I can begin loading.

Pleasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssse need help.

PM me your address and I'll get you some cases in the mail......

I form my cases with Redding Comp. neck dies. IIRC, I use a .225" bushing with Win. brass. Do you need the case FL sized?

Lee wants the cases 'fired'

so they can resize & load with the dies they build...

I provided die info at 6BR shooters..............

Hey AIU! How the heck have ya been?

Anywho, I noticed over at 6mmbr.com that you use a .227" bushing with your Prac.....out of curiosity, what brass are you using? My 20 Prac AR-15 prefers the .225" bushing with Win. brass.

BTW, I sent Taylorwkrs brass today so he can load/fire and send the cases to Lee.

Been busy farming.........raising hay.....who's idea was this ?? ???

Bought a farm w/22 acres & orchards....house needing some TLC....

'Removed' 86 p/dogs from property too.... ;D (20 PT & 17M2)

My brass is Win & LC 223 for the PT....LC is fat & needs turned first....

Win 223 is just fine........

I introduced a new p/dog shooter to the PT...he was amazed........

How much did you use?

Thanks!!

There is no fireforming with the 20 practical......at least not like an ackley improved chamber. The only "fireforming" you'd be doing is to make the brass fit the chamber better and then set your sizing die from there. The only change in the brass is the neck diameter.

Neck 'em down, load 'em up and shoot something!!!!
