Hey Guys,
I have been thinking about getting into swageing .224 bullets from 22 lr jackets. Last week I was playing in the shop and made a deriming die (eventually I would like to build all the dies). The jackets I am getting from the die are .220"-.221" O.D. and .685"-.687" long. I am using Remington brand cases that were given to me. My punch measures .195"
Are these long enough to make 55 grain .224 bullets? If these are not long enough would making the punch larger cause the cases to be appreciably longer?
