.22 Rimfire Squirrel Rifles
Sub 17m2 or 22lr? I shoot mostly 22sub hp on these MT Richardson Ground Squirrels and they perform. Picked u a Tikka T1X last year, dolled it up a bit with a Vortex PST 4-16 and McMillan stock. Hardly take the CZ 17 out any more.- Dkcampbl

.22 Rimfire Squirrel Rifles
Born and raised in the Ozarks I killed a jillion squirrels with my trusty Rem 513T. Was taught if you hit them any where but the head you messed up. 😉 Now days in MT I shoot ground squirrels (gophers) by the hundreds every year. Back when they first came out I grabbed a CZ 452 in 17m2 and...- Dkcampbl

-Mandrel is .3069” -Actually the opposite. I probably didn’t state it correctly but the new unfired, sized and expanded cases are actually tighter necked than the 1x fired cases. Makes sense since the neck walls measure .001” thicker than the fired neck walls. -.334” bushing is on the shopping list- Dkcampbl

-No on the media in cases, all clean. -I started this project with retumbo and r33. Both ran decent but no spectacular so did a little digging for something else. As y’all know powder was scarce but ran across a bottle of r50 at the LGS so grabbed it. Low and behold it shot fantastic, .250” with...- Dkcampbl

Not arguing that turning wouldn’t help the situation but the new brass that produces no pressure issues is larger dia than the fired brass that is showing pressure. You can “feel” that bullets seat harder harder in the new sized and annealed brass than resized fired brass also.- Dkcampbl

Measured with mic. Fired reloaded rnd - at mouth .3381”, parallel too .100 above neck jct, taper starts .3390 at jct. New loaded brass - mouth .3397”, has same slight .001” taper starting at same point on neck. With where my seated bullet sits even if there was a donut at the neck jct it is...- Dkcampbl

I ran a few rnds this afternoon .050” and .100” deeper seating depth and annealed brass. Very little difference in velocity or pressure signs.- Dkcampbl

Not dead set against any thing. I’ve never turned necks and am not set up for it or I’d sure give it a try just too see what happened.- Dkcampbl

Yea I figure I’ll be reducing the charge on fired brass just really stumped on what’s causing this. The aggravating part is I have a killer load for new brass but it goes too shit on fire-formed brass. Buying new Lapua brass or starting over to work up a new load nowadays ain’t for the faint of...- Dkcampbl

Curious what your reasoning is that this might lower pressure? The 96.5gr load is perfect fill for the current seating depth.- Dkcampbl

This was brass id already fl sized (no expander ball) shoulder bumped back .001”-.002” from fired size and primed. Punched primers, then annealed then ran carb expander thru before loading. Should be like .001”-.002” neck tension. I’m pretty satisfied neck tension nor chamber fit is an issue.- Dkcampbl

Yea, ran several rnds thru 1x fired, not annealed. Several above suggested annealing. It might have helped a tiny bit with pressure but still doesn’t solve the puzzle.- Dkcampbl

OK, annealed, loaded and chronoed 5, 1x fired rnds this morning. Everything same, same as 0x fired brass. - avg FPS on 0x fired brass 2975fps, don’t remember exactly but es was very low, no pressure signs, accuracy superb. - Avg FPS on 1x fired brass 3100, es of 25 with cratered flattened...- Dkcampbl

Oh MS, yea thought of that. It’s given crazy velocities on occasion but not several in a string with very close FPS. I’ll throw new batteries in it before I go out this weekend.- Dkcampbl

This one has me scratching my head... I acquired a 300NM last winter, ordered a box of Lapua brass and a batch 230 Bergers. This thing shoots nearly one hole at a hundred with 96.5gr of R50, no pressure signs. Shot a group at 325 that measured just...- Thread

I typically just do a quick dip in an old butter dish of water then throw them on a towel as I go. They are dry the outside then into the walnut or corncob media for 30 min. Dry as can be and clean after that. Too durn much going on too get the annealed rnds shot today and on the road in the...- Dkcampbl
