The guy is a tool and rage baits for clicks. Watch a video where he actually shoots instead of rage baits. You will see so much done wrong by either him or his friends. His followers eat his drivel with a serving spoon and ask for more. The lack of experience while repeating "fuddlore" is active in the comments. He just can't let the Rokslide 223 77tmk thing go. I think he uses it to get more engagement. 🤦‍♂️

Some bullets probably will in a fresh barrel. I just stick with the 62eld vts for a fast twist creed set up for the heavy’s. In most cases by 300 yards their dropping less then the very light bullets anyway.

Against better judgment I went ahead and rammed a piece of 6.5 into the Hornady 22 die Whoops

I've got an Eric Cortina expander mandrel die for creed/308 I believe. If I remove the expander ball from the Hornady die run the brass through there then through a mandrel die at .222 would that work?

Just trying to find the cheapest way to size down my old 6.5 without having to buy a bushing die.
 
I just run 1x fired Hornady 6.5 creed brass through a Forster fl die in one pass.

You might try de burring the outside of the case mouth and see if that makes a difference.

Bet that $45 ready to shoot ammo looks pretty good right now... 😆 🤣 Just ordered a case of the 80 ELDM @ $31.75/each plus $15.99 shipping.

I have too many guns to mess with non correct headstamped cases. Even my 6×45 cases get tossed after I use them. I write the proper case on factory loaded ammo on the side in marker and toss it after firing it. Not worth having a mix up since no one current offers headstamped 6x45 cases.

Question (or point me to an existing thread) - what are the paths to build a 22 CM with existing Tikka actions/barrels?

The easy/cheapest button is find a 22-250 8 twist tikka and have a gunsmith pull the tube to rechamber and cut to whatever length you want. If you already have an existing tikka - needs to be a standard bolt face (6.5 creed, 308, etc.) then find a prefit barrel - couple different options on here for guys selling them, or have a gunsmith chamber a blank. Depending on if you already have one, what it is chambered in could require a mag swap or bolt stop change.

I have a lefty tikka 65CM already, but I think I want to build one in righty for my kids to use for deer. Sounds like I'll just need to sell that rifle outright and keep eyes on a RH 65cm or 308 then.

Yep. Then find a pre-fit or a gunsmith to chamber a blank. Or do the 22-250 8 twist route. Saves a little coin.
