Looking to buy a 204 take-off Rem (Varmint preferred) barrel and a set of dies (RCBS OR Redding preferred) to make 221 FireBall/20 VarTarg out of 223 Rem.

I'm going to have a 20 VarTarg rifle built. Right now I plan to use a Marlin action.

PM me if you have any of the above for sale.

i have just what you need, 204 barrel Remington 26 inch stainless fluted 15 rounds fired, did not like 204 cal.
150+shipping

I used regular 221 die to form from 223.need to cut off 223 brass and anneal before forming.

I have a set of hornady 20vt dies if you interested $40shipped pm me

Stainless fluted, nice. I'm a retired GI and I know that is a great price, but might be a little much for me.

I haven't found an action yet, just put out feeler for barrel that might be available.

If you sell it fine, I'll try and get the money together.

I'm not a real fan of Hornady, I'll look around a little.

Thank you!!!!

Will

You can do that without messing up the brass?
How do you hold the brass to cut it off? Probably use a Hack saw to cut it off, right?

buddy of mine was building 300 blackout brass, bought a miniature cut off saw from harbor freight,$30 worked like a charm, after cutting and annealing I would back regular 221 die off with stem removed and resize 1/2 turn down at a time till resized. only ruined 4 out of 75.LIMPY

Thanks limpy, I found the cut-off saw you talked, thank you. I rigged up a bolt to act as a stop so I could put a case in to the same length each time and it cuts to the right length every time.

This is what a guy in PA said he had, I sent the money. $170 and got a non-fluted SS barrel. I can't understand why some folks have to be less than honest. I hope it's not shot-out.
