.225 Winchester
« on: September 16, 2008, 08:56:05 AM »
Has anyone ever rechambered a .223 barrel to .225 Winchester?  Midway has the brass pretty cheap.

Yup, Haven't hardley worked with it at all Have 100 - 200 pieces of new brass I haven't used yet.
Chamber on mine cleaned up great but the cal stamp on the barrel was changed to 225 win with a dremal tool & looks butchered. It is a 22 in bull barrel. May have to think of loadin some up soon if time allows

Not yet but getting ready to.

I have an old barrel with the snap on forearm that was originally a 22 JET that someone redid to 225 but I can't find a frame that it will fit.
I just picked up a 22" 223 with 1 in 12 twist that I think I am going to redo.
This is a great round.
At the present time I have 2 Winchester model 70s, 1 standard and 1 heavy barrel varmint
1 Winchester model 670
1 custom Bullberry TC 28"
1 Custom built Remington model 30S Deluxe with a 28" Pacnor barrel
and the old H&R barrel.
