[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2125900, member: 711"] 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 [B]right now I am in that bad place of not knowing what I don't know.[/B]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? [/QUOTE]
