223AI bushing dies for 20 prac?

[Si-Snipe]

I have a full S type die set in 223AI. I'm wondering if I could get away with the NS bushing die and comp seater for 20 practical?

Hi si , is it the neck type S or FL type S ? actually i think they / it should work ! The overalls the same, you should just need bushings . Happy days BUT i may be wrong . The other thing is the .224 decaping rod assembly will need either changing or turning down (like i did to .200 thou ) then again your 17rem rod might fit but itd prob be a pain changing these over every time ! Atb tim.

Just pondering , will the cases have runout problems? As there not being fully supported by the die ? Hmm id try a few , do you need to borrow a 233&228 bushing ?

Neck type S. I don't use expander ball so will check whether the mandrel requires turning.

The seater should work too I presume.

That was my only concern with it.

Yes seater should work , the only thing is the seater plug , some iv heard need drilling / machining out a little so the ballistic tips dont get slightly crushed ...

Runout may also occur with seater. Going to have a close look tomorrow.
