How do you make 20 tactical brass
Can someone break it down the best way to make 20 tactical brass please?

You asked for the “best way” to make 20 Tac brass… Buy the Redding form die, run your .223 brass through it and then run it through a FL 20 Tac die. Anneal either before or after… You will hear preferences either way. Some guys just run the .223 brass through the 20 Tac FL die and shoot. Guess it would depend on your chamber but I like to step it down with the forming die first.

Buy yourself a Hornady 20 Tactical FL sizing die. Size your 223 brass with one pass.
Brass is ready to load and shoot. I have 2 20 tac's and have formed 100's of brass. My shooting buddy also forms his 20 tac brass this way. |

Same advice. Buy either a fl bushing die or just a plain fl sizing die, run your 223 brass into it, trim the length, if necessary, reload it and fire it in your chamber. This will fully fireform it to yours.
Anneal before, if the brass is previously fired brass, don't bother if it is virgin brass. |

I bought a form die from TK years ago and I still use it. It gives me good control over where the cases shoulder is one unfired brass.
I'm sure that the other methods mentioned will work also. -BCB

Is there a reason it has to be hornady and not just any FL sizing die and not redding? I tried last night with my redding and about 30ish % crushed necks or really crippled shoulders. When you finish forming brass are the necks significantly shorter then they should be. The ones that didn’t crush the necks were shorter then my Dakota 20 tac brass.

Any decent brand of die will do the job. Some just prefer, say Redding, etc. Your choice and money to spend on the one's you want. |

I purchased Redding bushing dies from Todd as well as the form die.
For new brass that has not been previously formed to 20Tac I use the form die first then use the FL die. I also use Imperial die wax. Use very little cause too much will cause dimpled shoulders. I also set the form die to just slightly start to form the shoulder. I have sized several thousand this way with excellent results and no dimpled shoulders. |
