Reloading .22LR

[PlaidSon]

That title may get some attention. I don't know if this is some sort of joke, or if I'm behind the times but I just found this. Funny the things you'll find with too much internet time.

I don't have that much time on my hands EVER

What you don't reload your own 22lr, I mean you can load 20 in an hour that's like paying yourself 2 bucks an hour its great haha.

several previous threads about reloading 22lr, very time consuming, I hope I will never have to do this...

A few years back someone on the EE was selling a .22 reloading kit

I won't have to, I've got enough .22LR to last me the rest of my life...no matter how long I live!

 

[Windknot]

Well, at least once fired brass is cheap!

I wonder how much you would have to hate yourself to reload .22LR. I imagine a lot.

This is a very good reason to buy more than needed and save some for rainy days.

Might be interesting for intense target shooter though.

I don't know about the nay saying... I certainly wouldn't do it because I HAD to... but how much of this sport is about NEED and HAVE. Our biggest argument has always been WANT. And in a sick, twisted way... it actually kinda looks interesting.

Did it sell..lol

I'm sure some one on here bought the equipment and did a whole write up with pictures and all.

If silencers were legal in Canada and we didn't have access to sub sonic ammo I would look into buying the kit and a heavy grain mold. I would also have to be in the pest control business.

If it was $50 or less I would consider it for sure just for gits and shiggles.

Yes, only a true masochist would embark on this endeavor.

I hollow-point my own .22 with a Waltz kit...does that count?

There are other reasons to reload than simply to mass produce cheaper ammo. While this would never be my thing I can imagine a few scenarios where someone would want to take control and experiment with different load combinations.

I can't see reloading 22 being worthwhile, it would probably cost more for the components than what you can buy it for.

I wonder how much you would have to hate yourself or your family to reload .22LR. I imagine a lot.

Fixed

Application works well for 25 Stevens, 32RF, 38RF, 41RF, 44RF antique handgun and rifle cartridges though.

I started reading about making your own .223 bullets using 22LR casings as the jacket.
I then started researching die set manufacturers.
By the time I was finished finding a set of dies that everybody could agree on being well made I found that I was looking at a $1500US set of dies.
I figured out my break even point was somewhere around 56,000 rounds.
They can keep their dies.
