Swaging 22lr brass and lead into bullets

[M12shooter]

With the current shortage of components I was just wondering if anyone in Canada has the equipment/knowhow to swage 22 brass and lead into .224 bullets? This was a common post WWII practice as shortages were the rule of the day. Speer bullets got started in this manner I believe.

Corbin manufacturing makes the dies they call them 'free 224'. Far from At $750US.

I know a guy that bought some of these bullets from the Calgary gun show, $40.00 for 500, heck of a deal. I'm sure they will work fine at lower velocities. FS

More work than it's worth.

I experimented with these bullets from 3 different sources some years ago. My experience was that accuracy was spotty at best, and they were definitely no good at 22-250 or Swift velocities. Regards, Eagleye.

Shot them out of the 222. Accuracy wasn't the greatest, but if you connected, they tore it to pieces.
