I started a thread on the rifle forum about the gun. It had some problems, and the only way to save the barrel was to ream it from its original 22-250 to 22-243. Barrel is a 1/14 twist, is fluted, and doesn't touch the stock.
The conversion has been done, and I have ordered dies from Grafs.
Although I have done a good bit of rifle ammo reloading, this is my first true wildcat. I see good things about it as a coyote shooter, and that's primarily what it'll get used for.
I will likely have a lot of questions, but right now I am in that bad place of not knowing what I don't know.I do know that I need a selection of loading data which seems to be hard to find.
I have heard that case mouth thickness can be an issue resulting in high pressures and need to be schooled about that.
Do I need to anneal cases before reforming them? I have a Lyman T-Mag II that is plenty stout.
Can somebody suggest a good text or other info source on the 22-243 and on wildcatting in general?
