Resizing 22 arc with 6 arc dies

[Foster_65]

Can you use 6 arc dies to resize 22 arc with a change of appropriate bushing. It appears that the case designs are a bit different. Assume you could seat bullets fine with a proper searing stem? Not a lot in stock at tge moment for 22 arc bushing dies.

Isn't the 6 ARC case a little shorter than the 22 ARC? Not sure you could resize the entire case without major shoulder bump.

 

[Foster_65]

Correct. That’s what I was thinking

22 arc is the same length as 6.5 Grendel I believe, you may have better luck using 6.5 dies and 22 bushings.

Edit: Here is a Type S die in stock https://www.ebay.com/itm/305848771763

Yes you can bring Grendel brass down one step with 6ARC dies. You just set the die farther out off the shell holder. I make 6 Grendel brass and load them using 6 ARC dies.

I resize 6.5 Grendel Starline brass to 22ARC in one pass with a crappy Hornady 22 ARC non bushing die. Set final neck interference with a mandrel in a CH4D universal die.

I use a 6.5 Grendel Redding FL bushing die with a .248 bushing to resize 22 ARC. It works great.

Not a fan of bushing dies. I know some really like them but have better overall results using standard dies.
