Thank you for the information. I now have a Corbin set with the 6s point forming.
The set I started with did not take the rims out completely and the lengths were not consistent. I believe I have that problem stopped.

So you're supplying Azov battalion with ammo? lol )) I happen to share the same last name with their commander.
Ok, back to swaging. So 5.06mm is .199" which is what I read somewhere else is what Corbin uses. Frankly I am surprised that such a large diameter is needed. I am using BTsniper .197" punch and works well, crevices are pretty much non-existent. I don't know what size is Corbin die but I believe BTsniper is .220" ID, brass comes out around .2215 I made my own longer punch which happens to be .1965 (half a thou under) and it works all the same. You need to clean 22LR shells Alex before you derim it. Vinegar diluted with water and a wet tumbler or ultrasonic cleaner. No damage was visible on mine after couple thousand rounds but I made it out of tool steel and tempered it. From what I learned here is the priming compound contains fine glass which ends up wearing out the punch.
I use pre-hardened drill rod as my punch with awesome results.
