.22 LR Reloading Kit

I shoot way too much 22LR and there is no shortage where I am from :p

I would spend 1 hour shooting and a week reloading non stop :p
 
Geez, desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.

For the cost of 3500+ .22lr, you can reload your own .22lr.

Personally, I don't like the idea of re-using .22lr brass. Some of my rifles strike hard, and this kit certainly does not re-form the brass. I can see FTF, FTE, FTW (fail to whatever) happening all over the place with this process.
 
Man, people who bought this kit weren't taught about the value of their TIME...
Lemme see, it looks from the vid that making 100 rounds would take a few hours. If you make $30 an hour, you could easily
be buying 500 rounds an hour.
 
I thought it was a neat idea, as I had heard of Russians in the early 1900's reloading .22LR to use four or more times when they couldn't afford ammo or none could be had. Since alot of places didn't have .22 ammo in the past few months, I thought this was an interesting idea to fill a possible gap in the market? It's definately not worth the price in my books, but the thought someone put into making the kit and reloading is interesting. It would have been neater if he did have a way to reform the brass. I guess this post is up there with the 'other oddities' in the firearms coummunity as I wouldn't use it. So yeah, take it for what's it's worth - interesting.
 
I'd rather be shooting! There's two cartridges I don't reload for since I find it's not worth it from a time/$$$ perspective ........ 22 & 12 GA.
Now standard center fire ammo ......... that's a whole different ballgame but so long as I can buy 22 & 12GA in bulk (& commie surplus!), that's the way to fly!
 
That's a pretty cool kit and everything they said in the video is true about cost saving, however the amount of time it takes to reload, holy crap! To make it worth while you would have to make up some jigs like the factories do and mass prime, powder charge and bullet seat things.

I wonder if the mold resizes the bras during the crimping?

If it was $100 I would buy it for ####s and giggles.

So what I dont see is primer compound. It says it comes with an eye dropper, not the compound. Can you even buy this stuff?

they suggest you use cap's for cap guns as the priming compound or the white part of a strike anywhere match. use the dropper to make it into a sludge/slurry/liquid to get it to flow into the rim of the brass. let dry for a day or less if using acetone, then load some powder.

i think the paper caps would be the best solution for getting the priming compound, but getting it off without extra paper in the mix and without setting them off might be an issue.


the more i look at it the more i want it, but the price tag is way to high.
 
so after reloading in the SHTF situation, you bag yourself a squirrel... delicious squirrel... now to cook it. "OH #### i used all my matches making ammo....."

joking aside cool idea, one day when the libtards take away all the ammo, you will be laughing as you make "match ammo" .22
 
i think if it gets that bad you may as well switch to a 22 pellet gun and get the same results with alot less hassle.
 
Looks like yet another way of separating you from your money with unproven kit. You'll note the guy mentions the priming compound but not what it is or where he gets it. He's also 'packing' with a tool, a compound that is designed to go bang via percussion.
 
Sunray in the video where he makes a round he explains it better.
Priming compound is sourced from toy caps or strike anywhere matches and when combined with fluid is inert till dry.

I'm going to wait for the progressive kit... :)

This is what my uncle did during the depression. For a propellant he used what they called "Stumping Powder" which I was told was a mixture of Dynamite and Black Powder, (not sure of this though???). When he could not retrieve the bullet and reuse it he would actually use a nail, (shudder to think of the effect on rifling). My father has one of uncles "reloads", I think it has 3 or 4 primer strikes.

I think its totally impractical today but back then cash money was non existent so they made do with what they had.
