Good to see someone else chamber this round!
Did you use a type one or type 'll bolt?

Look forward to your results...and pics.

Any new data?

Replied to your email, Thanks for sending a copy of your reamer print.

My reamer has a shorter neck /shoulder blowed out .0263 further, .255 neck and a .135 free Bore.
As I mentioned in my thread , from what info I could find my reamer is basically a necked down 6mm Grinch.

Awesome, good #'s with the 80.5's.
I have been so busy with work no time for shooting or anything else! Has been pretty warm here too!

I have a 8 twist blank I need to get turned down, threaded and chambered for a Ruger Grendel action.

Plan to modify the mag , clearence the magwell to get an 88gr above neck / shoulder junction.... but that would make it have pretty long jump with any other bullet.
So may throat it for 80's and 88's be where they end up.

.22 Grendel Improved dies?


Sir, may I ask what you are using for reloading dies for the .22 Grendel Improved?

Thx,

Western, I love AI cartridges. Cutting edge stuff..

Smokin Joe, I'm guessing he used the chamber reamer to then make the sizing die.

Unlikely - Spent cases would not touch the sides and the neck would not hold a bullet. Cartridges need to be tighter than the chamber, especially in gas guns. And the neck definitely needs to be squashed tighter than the bullet.

I machined a size die reamer and size die, use a hornady 22 cal seat die to seat bullets.

I was wrong as usual, hehe. Es350- Machined your own reamers? that is a sweet skill to have! very cool. I would go broke playing around with different calibers haha .
