Elwood Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Is there anyone on here that could thread a couple of 22BR cases for me to fit the stoney point/ Hornady seating depth gage? I have had a look on Sinclairs and can't find the dummy case for a 22BR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a look on Sinclairs and can't find the dummy case for a 22BR. Contact them Ian and send them a fired case, they will make one for you.

Guest varmartin Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 You may find you can achieve more accurate measurements by using the split case method !! Its cheaper too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Martin, can you give us a run down of the split case method please. Do you long seat a bullet and let the chamber push it home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 You may find you can achieve more accurate measurements by using the split case method !! Its cheaper too ! Interesting that you say that , I neck trimmed some brass last night and did one further back than I should of and I could seat a bullet in it with a minimal amount of force and managed to get three consecutive readings the same. Also my fired fired brass has a neck diameter of 0.251 and a loaded round is 0.250, I was expecting the necks to expand more than that. Colin, if you read this the cases should be with you tomorrow.

Hi Eldon...its as simple as it sounds really. Take one case, fire formed is best. Run a dremel or junior hack saw down one side of the neck, only just past the neck/shoulder junction. Clean up the inside with 1200 wet/dry and down both inside and out of the cut section. Squeeze the neck in so it holds a bullet snug. Insert bullet of your choice and seat it long. Load the inert round and close the bolt fully . Now take care when extracting the round in a remy action as it may want to eject so support the round with your finger as it is extracted. Measure the round and repeat a few times.... The measurement is the OAL to the lands. !!! Takes less time to do than to write up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Cheers Martin, I have done that way before the same as you but just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Split Case method is what I use and its been compared with some one who has the Stoney Point tool - no difference in measurements in same rifles. Cheaper, just as effective and takes only a few minutes to prep your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper, just as effective and takes only a few minutes to prep your case. i have to agree with ronin. i use both ways and to tell the truth they are about the same, if you have a stony point tool then carry on, if not split case will do the job nice. hi Ian the cases will be in the post tomorrow, i will post them next day delivery. ATB Colin PS i thought someone else was going to send me a 223 case quit some time ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
