I use a Lee Quick Trim in 223, I have a turret press with a number of them set up in it so I just have to turn it to the cartridge I want to trim. The 223 will work for my 20P, 223 and 6x45mm as...

I use my 218 Bee sizer to neck size 22H, it works well, I keep it in a turret with the 22H dies with a Hornady seater that will seat for both of them.

I've been shooting one since 2006. I had built a 25-204(a 257 Kimber clone with no fire forming) it turned out great and thought I'd do a 22-204, think of it as a 222 Rem Mag Improved(not AI).

I have to go along with the Sako crowd, mine is a Vixen Mannlicher in 222 Rem. I also have a Rem 600 in 6x45 and a Howa Mini 6.5G that I bobbed the mag and made it into a nice carry gun.

I've thought about a WSSM, a 25 WSSM in a petite little rifle would be the cats-azz for a whitetail rifle but only one source of brass, spotty availability, need for a dedicated action kind of put...

I'm not a big V-max fan other than the 58gr in my 6mm-204 and 6x45mm. I haven't experimented with the 22-204 very much. The 40gr NBT was so accurate and the Hammer of Thor on coyotes without...

I've done a couple by hand, 223 to 22-204 and 6x47 to 6mm-204 and if you go slow and pay atention they turn out just fine. A rimmed case is even easier as you don't have to worry about headspace as...
