Glad to hear it. I'm gonna do the same with 6 cm brass. That's two less passes through the die for stepping it down. Luckily I found a set to borrow from my buddy so I don't have to purchase a whole set of dies, just a couple bushings. Another question, did you run a .22 expander when you stepped it down?
That's a sweet rig, btw. Beanland sure does a [beeep] good job!! I bet it's a tack driver, too..

It will take Whidden 8-10wks for a custom set, but man they are awesome.
