I might be getting a benchrest rifle in 6 ppc that needs the necks turned to .262 anyway so turning will be a must no matter what.
I will want 200 to 300 cases for it as I am going to use it on a PD trip so I need to cut the cost down on the cases.
Hi guys,
The 220 Russian, 22ppc, 6mm ppc and 7.62x39 are all the same case, right ?
So, can you just run a 7.62x39 into a 6mm ppc die and have a lot cheaper case?
The Norma 7.62x39 is 30 cents cheaper than the 6mm per case !
It may or may not be that simple. Taking the brass from 30 cal down to 243 cal may give you excessive neck wall thickness. Which means you would have to inside ream, or outside neck turn, your cases - neither of which is fun or quick. The 6mm PPC was originally made by necking up the 220 Russian (same case head as 7.62x39, but when the 220 Russian was manufactured the case was formed as it's own case and not necked down from 7.62x39 stock on hand).
