By the way, is there a "degree symbol" on a computer?
Yes there is. Press and hold "Alt" then type "248" on the numeric keypad only. Like this: 40°
No, I'm not a geek, but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn once. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Is there some switch you have to throw for this to work, can't get the degree sign to show up, and I could really use that in my work communications without having to go to symbols. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

There are actually 3 different 25-06 Wildcats that I am familiar with. The 40 degree version is called AI, the 28 degree is I believe RCBS' version, and the 30 degree Kampfelds.........

Alt 0176 will bring up a degree symbol. °
Best wishes, Bill

i have a 22-6mm and am trying to reload for it but i need a little help .i have a load 50 grs. reloder 22 80 gr. sierra hpbt and i plan to seat just to the rifling . my question is after i form the 6mm bras in my 6mm die with .22 neck inserts and fire-form it in my rifle . when i de-prime the fire-formed case do i need the expander in the die?
It depends on your chamber and the die you are using. It would help if you could give a little more information on what exactly you are using.
If you have a custom chamber that has a tight neck, it is possible, in some instances that you can reseat another bullet without resizing the neck.
This is usually not the case though. The neck must be resized using some kind of die with an expander button or shaft as in the Lee collet dies.
I have a 224 TTH, and I have to resize the neck. If I am not full length resizing, I use a neck sizer for a 22-250 and just resize a portion of the neck.
If you resize the neck without the expander, you will probably be able to seat the bullet, but the neck tension on the bullet will be excessive and will not be consistent, which may lead to poor accuracy, and other issues.
Also. Very important. Check your brass for "doughnuts". I have to ream the inside of the neck where it meets the shoulder to get rid of them. You can find out if you have them by fitting a bullet into a fired case neck. If the bullet easily slides down the neck and then stops when you get to the shoulder junction, you have a "doughnut".
Regarding your question about the TTH. I don't have the actual dimensions of the TTH, so I am not sure, but it looks to me as if the TTH is just a simple neck-down of the 6mm. The shoulder seems to be the same as a 6mm, approximately 26 degrees.
I am impressed with your load. 50 gr. of RL 22 with an 80 gr. bullet has to be smokin'. Shoot that with restraint. I am no where near that with a 75 gr. bullet.
I really like mine. It is one heck of a coyote killer. I just wish I could shoot it more.
Good luck.
