Good Afternoon All-
Would anyone know where I might find a 222 or 223 sizer die for a 22 Remington Jet?
For those of you that cast and shoot that caliber does the use of a 224 lube-sizer die cause excessive pressures?
Thanks for you help.

NOE has sizing dies that will fit the 22 jet, look in the Air gun size die section,
on mine I found 221 & 222 diameters worked the best for me, that will all depend on what alloy mix you'll use,
I was using WW and great success with the lite weight bullets 35gr's, had a Lyman mold that was shortened down to 30 grs.

One thing you should pay attention to is, have the brass and chambers bone clean, NO oil anywhere,
that will help prevent setback of the brass etc, in case you don't know.

Have a contender bbl in the Jet case and you have make some screamer rds with correct bullets,
Speer use to make some 35 gr bullets that were pure dynamite on sage bunnies. I use the Horn 35 VMax a lot.

I forgot to add .223 diameter to the size die list, sorry about that.
