Savage questions
Re: Savage questions
I missed that was a 20 Nitro, thought it was 204 ruger velocities. Looks like a fun cartridge, I'm sure is was a challenge and time consuming to build. I love those 39 SBKs on prairie dogs at 3700, I'll bet they really do acrobatics with an additional 300-400 fps.

Re: Savage questions
Wirelessguy, you have my interest. What all is involved in forming the 20 Nitro case? Are there dies for less than $340 for just a seating die?
Please, no Sidewinder today!

Re: Savage questions
There are lots of different ways to form the 20 Nitro brass, depends if you have a set of 6 or 22 BR bushing dies already or not. You can also accomplish it with a 22BR FL die and series of bushing changes in a 20 Nitro bushing die. The easiest way to do it is running the brass thru a FL 22 BR die and then thru a 20 BR FL die. I also have the option of selling formed brass if someone is interested in that. The die set that is offered on the website is a 2 die set consisting of a Whidden 20 Nitro FL bushing die and a Micrometer top sliding alignment sleeve seat die.

Re: Savage questions
If you can find a brass welding rod, that just fits into the barrel, pick one up, and use that instead of a cleaning rod. You can tap on the end of the rod with a hammer, and just maybe get that brass out of the barrel.ThaDoubleJ wrote:Anyone have any pointers on how to get that case out of my chamber

For my 22 and 30 cals I have a military broken case extractor but for the 20 cal I have nothing and have often wondered what is the best method to get them out.
