I saw this the other day in the reloading section.
Does anyone actually have any experience with it? Seems like the time involved wouldn't be worth the end result. |
Ha! $150 for a .22lr reloader?!?
It can be done, but sure doesn't seem like it would be economical. I used to work with a british guy who claimed he reloaded .22lr back home, but it was a long process and not worth it. I've reloaded primers and used them in .38spl, so it's possible, but a long PITA process. Good to know if SHTF I suppose....... Last resort stuff. |

22 is back to normal prices why would you ever reload it? Normal prices?!? 
not really |

Quoted:
How would you fix the firing pin mark in the used brass? I reloaded some years ago using the tips from strike anywhere matches for the primer. I was using them in a Single Six and I just indexed the case where the firing pin would strike the undented part of the case. I like this idea better, I think I might pick one up to play around with. |

You'll have to give an in depth review

I would just load pellets into .223 cases way before I reloaded .22lr. It would be way faster and way cheaper I bet. Primer only? What fps do you get from that? Not that I ever chrono'ed it but I used to put a wax wad in spent 9mm brass and only a primer. Would punch through cardboard. |

I haven't tried it personally, but I think I remember reading that you can either load them with just the pellet for super qiet shooting or add maybe 1 or 2 gr of powder for pellet gun speeds. You can either drill out a case to accept shotgun primers and reload it, or just load them conventionally into each individual case. |

I only have 177 pellets, but might be worth picking up some 22 pellets to try out. |

A search of the backwoods magazine website looks like there was no July/August issue in 2014. Can you give us the issue number please? TIA. |

The article that got me interested was in the July/August edition of Backwoods magazine. I don't expect that
Just a review of was it worth it? Time it took? Were the loads ok? Did they shoot ok? Stuff like that. |
