I didn't understand the 22 BRA reamer on my first batch of brass and I didn't leave a false shoulder. I incorrectly assumed fireforming 22 BRA was like fire forming 6 BRA where the neck-shoulder junction will already have a slight crush fit on the brass. So I fireformed my first brass all wrong and ended up stretching the base of the brass and having all sorts of pressure issues because of that. Here's an example of some of that brass I ruined, if you look at the base you can see a "belt" like a 300WM where the weakened base wall of the case is budging out with a charge that shouldn't be doing this.I a really just got 2 boxes of Lapua BR brass. I'm curious Tyler when sizing down the lapua to 22 do you also leave a slight false shoulder to where it's like .004 longer headspace than the chamber?
What was your coal how close to jam and your case capacity I could check in GRT and see what it says for pressureHas anyone tried 95smk? I ran them at around 27gr of varget with pretty good results but only running 2780. With test loads I found anything above 28gr had constant signs of pressure. Really would like to see if there is another node around 2850.
What about your case capacity in h2o? Probably around 38-392.365
22BRA has a much more capacity if you want to run fast or heavier bullets. 223ai would be perfect for 75-80 grain and run up to or around 3000 fps.I don't want to pollute this thread too bad but I've got a couple questions. A br variant has been on my shortlist for a while, and after messing with one at the range this past weekend, I've got the bug again. Still back and forth whether or not I want 6bra or a 22bra.
What's the velocity of the 22bra like compared to a 223ai ? Powder capacity is about the same correct, slight edge to the bra?
I ask because I've got a spare small face 700 bolt and a pile of 223 brass already. Just need an ai sizing die.
I don't compete at any level and I will hunt with whichever one I decide to go with. I will most likely stay with 75-80gr bullets.
