I don't have any dies, so I can't load anything. The bushing dies are very expensive and I don't want to get it wrong investing in the wrong reloading dies.

Sorry, what do you mean by .200 line?

Its .200 up from the bottom of the case. Just up from the web. If you look at a reamer print if will reference it with one of the measurements on a print.
Some guys get the bolt "click" with using Lapua brass on some reamers. Guys who want to run Lapua brass usually spec it a little bigger there. |

Lapua 221 Fireball brass
I have a .232” chamber neck and use Lapua 221 Fireball brass. I neck turn to .013” for a loaded case neck diameter of .230”. Since I use this rifle for prairie dogs with attendant dust and dirt, I am not comfortable with less than .002” neck clearance.
While neck turning this brass, I was shocked at the high spots on this Lapua brass. I do not remember encountering this lack of neck uniformity when neck turning Lapua 222 Rem or 223 Rem brass. I wonder if this is typical of 221 Fireball Lapua brass?

hemiallen and gary,
Looks like Lapua won't work. I definitely don't want to turn necks. |

On a side note, has anyone tried the ammo from Hendershots? They will load 20 Vartarg. The ammo would give me a baseline to see if I am going to like the chambering without having to spend a bunch on a set of dies right now. Thoughts?

Back in 2004 I bought my Coopers from Hendershots since they are local.I was having big trouble with my 17 M4 so bought a box of their ammo. It wasn't as accurate as what I was reloading. Neck dia were all over the place. The brass didn't appear new!/? Back then it was 49.95 for 50 rounds. Sure didn't get anymore.
