I was wondering if anyone knew what the case capacity of a 6mm Hagar necked down once fired was compared to stock 22 Nosler brass? Or even what S&B 6.8 SPC brass necked down and once fired would be.
22 Nosgar Case Capacity?

It's not very scientific but a fire formed Hagar case holds 36.5 grains of CFE223 to the top of the neck. A fire formed Nosler case holds 36.8 grains of CFE223 to the top of the neck. I only tried one random case from each bin.

I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for the next batch of Hagar brass to start my build or if I would be about the same just using S&B 6.8 SPC (or other SPC) brass.
Here you gi
22 NOSGAR
HORN FIRED 132.92 35.78
22 NOSLER BHW
FIRED NOS 117 37.12
22 NOSLER STONER
NEW 114.2 36.00
FIRED 36.87

The 6.8 brass is too short to use on the Nosler and still have a neck.
I'm dealing with Starline right now about getting some FACTORY NOSGAR brass made once they get the new 6.8 fixed with hardness and the Valkyrie brass done. T
hey are making a 6.8 BASIC that will be a straight wall case but that will be a bit of a challenge for most guys to form up and the HAGAR brass would probably be a better alternative IMHO

Good point about the case length. That wouldn't leave enough neck to be comfortable.
The plan was to use a spare Savage action with a SPC bolt head that I have. I might just have to put a pre-order in at Creedmoor sports for some Hagar brass and see if I get any before I order a barrel.
