Sendaro: I was one of 9 lucky individuals in the US that purchased the only source of new primed empty 22RF cases. Trying to help others obtain this brass, I contacted close to a half dozen sources - No Got's ... Legal Liability was the reply from all. Alternative: pull heads from factory rounds and use the cases
So for 2 of us reloaders, David Mos was contacted for custom molds for the 1897 UMC Match Bullet. Alternate bullet source - Lyman 225438. Cast with pure lead and lube with Alox or liquid Red Rooster lube
CH4D had (and will make on request) a 22LR seating die & shell holder - the 'had' is now in my dies cabinet. Alternative: Lyman Lube Sizer with a 225 H&I die
Reloading the primed empty cases is really a piece of cake
* Chamfer the case mouths
* Use a Lyman #5 powder charger because the concave mouth of the drop tube fits perfectly on the case mouth
* Place the chamfered cases in a Win 209 primer tray - skipping a space (total 50 rounds)
* Place the tray under the #5 drop tube and start cranking (smokeless or black powder). I reload using BP (4.5grs) of Swiss Null B that has been determined to provide the best groups and minimum foul. Fouling? Naw! John Kort has run 125 rounds through his Marlin with no bore cleaning and degradation of accuracy. I stopped at 75 rounds
Smokeless reloads? Haven't ventured making any yet
* Move powder charged cases to press with CH4D seating die
* Seat bullets - run through CH4D seating die - Done
50 rounds in 20 minutes
