Hunterapp, thanks for the link. I visited Varmint Al's page many years ago and always polish the inside of my new dies with flitz. The dies I found are Hornady so it's likely I'll need a forming die, I suppose unless I can find a seating die somewhere.

To make sure I understand, you are using a 221FB seating die with the stem removed for the 1st pass at reworking 221 brass to 17 and the final stage with the 17 FL die?


There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.
