BK 40:

Thanks again for your help. I have an email off to Sinclair to ask about the USA vs Sako die sets. Awaiting an answer. The .220 Russian brass seems like a real good buy compared to buying .22 PPC brass at close to 3 times the price.

Another question if I may:
I also saw a flash hole enlarger for .22 PPC. I gathered that the flash holes in .22 PPC are .060". Sinclair sells a reamer that enlarges the flash hole to .0625". Do the .220 Russian cases have the .060" flash hole or are they .0625"? Apparently, modern decappers are .0625" diameter and won't fit in .22 PPC cases.

Thanks again.

Bob
