    Need a .224 sizing favor

    Just this week I received a rifle in from Goodsteel and the chamber is tight, 22 Hornet. .225 boolits will not even chamber in this thing. Would someone be kind enough to size to .224" about 30 or so w/gc for me to try before I drop bank on a Saeco .224 sizer? I'll send some boolits with gas checks and some money for return postage.
    If you will be sizing on a Saeco I have a modified top punch because the meplat is rather large on this boolit. A flat top punch works too.

    Thank you.

    I have a Lyman sizer, and would be happy to size them up for you.

    What boolit?

    Different reamers don't always make throats of the same dimensions.
