I am wanting to reload for the old .22 Jet, but not sure what mold to get or where I might find one. Don't know if I should use a .222 mold or a .223. This is asuming I can still find dies. Please feel free to move this to another category if need. Wasn't sure where to put it. Thanks.

This boolit should do well in a Jet.

I think it would do quite well in the jet, the hornet and the bee too.

I just put an order in for this, to be used in the jet.

As for reloading the jet–I've been doing it for a couple-three years now.
I ended up with an old set of dies off e-bay that work fine. .223 45 grain jacketed bullets work just as well as or better than the .222 40 grain jet bullets. I'm new to shooting cast in the jet, and have not yet recieved the mold-but it looks like it will be a good size. I plan to size at .224" and see how they fly. Your mold will most likely drop boolits around .225" or .226". You won't want to size them smaller than .223", I don't believe.
