Looking for a Savage aftermarket barrel in 22BR

[1 mil]

Does anyone know what aftermarket maker can ream a barrel for 22BR ... no turn neck?
Thanks for any help!

What size would a no-turn neck be?

[Shooter0302]

my Lapua 6 BR cases sized to 22 BR loaded with Hornady 75 A Max measure .2510 - .2520, and 1x cases not sized measure .2520 - .2535. The 80 SMK's and the 75 A Max bullets CAN NOT be pushed into a case. I just knock out the primer, seat a new primer, charge with powder and seat the bullets.
I "think" the "Norma 22BR" reamer is supposed to be .2555 .256.

BE sure to ask The ones you find if their reamer is for 22 Norma/Lapua OR Rem.BR . And what OD neck does it cut.

I don't think there was ever a standard for the 22 BR as far as neck size. My reamer will cut it @ .250" for the Lapua/Norma length brass. To take full advantage of the 22 BR, it is worth turning the necks. Anytime you neck a case down to a smaller size, brass will accumulate in places it shouldn't be, and a good clean up is necessary. I size the cases down in a standard 22 BR FL die, then fireform without a bullet, using bullseye and cornmeal to blow out all the kinks and let the brass flow. Then trim to length, and then turn the necks to .248". I have some Lapua cases done this way that have 40+ firings on them. All I ever used for dies is a Forster full length die and micrometer seater, bumping the shoulders back .002".
