Reloading 22 long rifle

Anybody tried this?
Like most people today, you probably didn’t even realize it was possible to reload 22 long rifle ammo. As you can see, it is not only possible but also convenient with one powerful tool and a few accessories.

Our manual contains close up photography, cutaway views, and all details necessary to reload without any other means.

You know, I could see this in a bugout bag.

at today's gouging prices, isn't that the same as maybe 4 or 5 bricks of 22lr?
(and have you noticed how many 'bricks' are now 325 rounds instead of 500?)

Cool...A long time ago there use to be reloading kits for 22 rim fire.
I never used or saw any, but read about it only.

They also made a tool to remove the firing pin strike dent in the rim.
It was a small tool that had an offset head to go under the rim from the inside and you tapped the dent out. Kind of like a clipped head nail gun nail. ( That may work?? )

I read the web site and watched all the videos, it looks like it will work ok, but for the price the best thing your getting is the 22lr bullet mold and I guess the manual???
It does seem to be a little expensive?

I saw one web site that showed how to make a 22lr bullet mold from a bar of aluminum and a drill bit of the correct size. The sprue plate was made also. If you had some average shop tools it wouldn't be hard to make, just some time.

I would not mind having this kit just for the heck of it.
Too bad I sold all my 22 lr brass about a year ago, I had more than a 5 gallon bucket.
I sold it to a scrap yard and bought more powder and primers.....
Plus a bunch of bad brass or other calibers and spent primers.

I'm glad you posted this, I'll keep it in mind for later.

If I was going to make one I'd want to make one that could cast 20 or more rounds at a time.

:thumbs2: And if I made one, I'd like a bigger mold too.... :mrgreen:
Just think how fast you can shoot 25 rounds out of a 10-22 with a 25 round mag..!!

Not that I do that all the time, but some do.

I think it would be fun to reload them, as long as your not in any hurry.

I've tried the strike anywhere match for primer compound in 38 specials and it worked fine.
Couldn't tell any difference by sound or anything else.
Did not run it over a Chronograph though.
Haven't tried toy caps yet.
