Never had to form brass for a smallbore, is this a new trend, just when I thought I had it all worked out :shock: :shock: :shock:

rambuster40,

Don't you think this maybe better posted on the Highpower side, seeing how it is a centerfire question, and this is the smallbore side :roll:

I would expect no less from inbreeds, guess you'all got a better way to show someone the light

Guest,

At least I post where I'm from

Rambuster40,

Lighten up, was just pointing you to the right forum. Guess I should have had the Moderator delete it since you have no PM capibilites and it was in the wrong forum. And yes this is a good way to start a new forum

Well excuse me I was not aware Brass forming was a Bi-forum topic, guess I need to realign my firing pin, or just let an off topic sit and not try and clue someone in :roll: . We used to have only one forum on the gray site, I believe that is why it is split on this site to better suite the application and intention of the question. But then again some people need max exposure.

Dawg,

Why don't you just tell the truth, you don't shoot high power! Is there such a thing as a silhouette shooter that does not have a High Power silhouette rifle. Dawg tell me it's not true, come out and play with the BIG DAWG'S,

Rambuster, you are going to need a tapered expander. You should be able to find them available form most of the major reloading die manufacturers. It will replace the one in your 260 die and will make it were you can neck up the 243 brass.

Good Luck, Paul in beautiful downtown Alvin Texas

Dawg,

You need to come on over and try high power again. Take a look at my new High Power hunting rifle.

Dawg,

Pharr is working on a 40x-22 sporter for me. Putting it in a maple stock, Lilja 23" #5 fluted barrel, Jewell trigger, with Mr Marvin rings.

Here is a look at the wood, I think you'll like it.

Later , Paul
