[QUOTE="Calamity Jake, post: 2393454, member: 12219"] The 22 russian case can be fireformed in the 6PPC chamber. I would start by trimming the russian case to 1.495, that's .005 longer than the 6PPC case then load a small charge of a pistol powder, like unique or red dot, maybe 4-5 grains then fill the remaining space with cream of wheat then plug the mouth with a thin wax plug, takeem to the range to fireform. A word of caution here: DO NOT leave them loaded with the COW for more than a day or two as the COW will become a solid. I would take primed cases along with along with a lee dipper for the proper amount of the powder of choice and the COW to the range and load there, I fireformed 30-30 into 7-30 waters years ago with the above system but I used 10 grains of red dot, I don't think I would try it with that much in the small russian case. After there fireformed trim to 6PPC length then load 1 ONE dummy round with the bullet you intend to use and check neck diameter to see how much needs to be taken off, it needs to be less than .262 with a bullet seated, use and outside neck turning tool not an inside neck reamer. .261 should work very well, use a good 0-1" micrometer not calipers for this work. After you have determand how much needs to be removed full length size all cases, trim to length, deburr, then do the neck turning. I shoot a 6MM BR with a .262 neck so I have to turn the Laupa brass that I use. [/QUOTE]
