can foresee an avalanche of thoughful and rightful advises not to do it. Spare me folks, this is question on how to do it, not why I shouldn't do it. For those who did it - please share what recipe worked for you and what equipment did you use? Especially interested in what bullet designs and maximum bullet weight you managed to push through the barrel without blowing case apart. PM me

WMR/HMR operates at pretty much max pressure that a rimfire design can handle already. It was only ever done to produce "match" grade ammo AFAIK. Once upon a time you could buy primed WMR brass and component bullets. I am not telling you not to, but I don't see any advantage. At all...
Post # 10,566 and still spreading misinformation do you know anything about anything? or do you just drop your $.02 right or wrong on every topic to increase your post count? 10,566 posts and not one trader rating.
Can we Ban this guy already
To the OP sure you can pull the bullet and replace it I wouldn't change the powder maybe try a 40gr vmax. I had a .22wmr and there seems to be decent ammo out there like the Remington accutip stuff if you do try reloading them keep us posted would like to see the results of a bullet swap.

Well, technically he is right...Semantics. I didn't see the word "reload" anywhre though.
Being rimfire never stopped anyone pulling bullets and resizing necks in the past...
What are you shooting them out of? I've never worked up the enthusiasm for a WMR, but am working on a Hornet.
Wear safety glasses. Keep notes. Last time I dinked around with reloading rimfire ammo was a long lotta years ago, when powder from duds got used to fill up cases from other rounds.
Loud, unscientific, probably unsafe, and luck was on my side. Luck. It's unreliable!

um your wrong and so is sunray see link below
here's a link do some reading smart guy http://www.shooting-hunting.com/reloading_techniques.html
As for the trader rating it means your not a contributing member of the forums all you do is jump from thread to thread dropping false information just to increase your post count.
i.e. a TROLL
Oh forgive me. Here I always thought of handloading as making ammo from new components and reloading as using fired brass. Where can I buy priming compound? Any tips for hammering ou the firing pin indentation? Surely you have some article that states pretty much exactly what I said in post #2 to show me up. I bow to your infinite wisdom... God damn I hate having so many infractions.
It makes perfect sense to anyone with a brain. I am calling you out, you are actually lame enough to think trader rating means anything. I have been around fo many more years, have a higher post count and a higher trader rating. Does that give me the right to rag on you? No. I am going to though, because I think you deserve it right now.
Just because you make both by hand doesn't mean there isn't a difference in terminology to many shooters. You stopped by to call Sunray a troll when it's you being a weenie saying he should be banned for adding his opinion. Let's all try and emulate "srt4u2nv". I am out before I once again cross the line. Gotta work on my reading comprehension anyway...

"It makes perfect sense to anyone with a brain."
apparently not to sunray
"I am calling you out"
Calling me out on what exactly I'm not the one spreading BS?
"you are actually lame enough to think trader rating means anything."
its sure does mean a lot
"I have been around fo many more years, have a higher post count and a higher trader rating."
That sounds about right your point? sunray has been around 3yrs longer then me and has yet to buy anything or sell anything on this site.
"Does that give me the right to rag on you?"
No but if I was around here longer then you and had a higher post count but a ZERO trader rating it would.
"I am going to though, because I think you deserve it right now."
You may want to go through sunrays posts before you run to his defense passing on 3rd hand misinformation is all that guy does and I'm not the only one who calls him for it.
"You stopped by to call Sunray a troll when it's you being a weenie saying he should be banned for adding his opinion."
I stopped in because this is an interesting topic. I then noticed sunray left his usual I think there for it is gospel post he leaves in every thread. I felt inclined to give him a hard time about it just like 10,000 others have done in the past. He should not be banned for stating his opinion he should be banned for continually spreading mis-information and adding ZERO value to any thread he posts in. Its not like he supports the vendors on this site or other members for that matter only here to spread his BS.
Thanks for all the attention

I have done it with 40gr v-maxs and Lil'gun. The accuracy was way better than the factory stuff and I was getting over 2200fps.
I don't know what powder is used in the 22magnum, but ordinary 22LR uses very fast powder. If you were to start re-loading this powder be very very careful. With the same powder charge, a change from a plate bullet to a jacleted bullet might be too much pressure.
The line in the books about "Start low and work up." is always good advice.
The weak link in the process is the non-solid case head like you would have in a Hornet. The case head is a balloOn design and easy to blow out.

I know a guy that tried it because I was doing it and he ended up with pieces in his hand. He just filled the case to the mouth with Lil'gun and the seated the bullet.
Make them. You don't really think all the stuff out there came about because some company decided to start making reloading tools first, did you? It's just metalwork.
It's been done. It can be done. It'll be done some more as guys get it into their heads to try new things.
There have been several wildcats based on Long Rifle cases. .10 cal, .11 cal, .12, .14, .17, 5mm, etc. Pull 'em, empty 'em, size 'em, refill 'em. Lose a few along the way if you get too enthused about speed when pulling down the lever on the press...
Lot's of guys were pulling bullets off long rifle ammo to reload it for target shooting, prior to some of the sanctioning bodies putting the kibosh on it for competition use. Shuetzen and Shuetzen Benchrest, under ASSRA Rules, if you want to look it up. They didn't make the rule up so thay could prevent something from being done that was not being done yet. They wanted to stop what was being done by a few that went to the bother.
There you go sunshine! Now you know.
