Fellows,
I was fooling around in my shop making some 30 caliber gaschecks with my gascheck tool I made. After I was finished an idea popped into my head. That was making a 22 cal gascheck from a large primer. So I took some spent brass colored large rifle primers and make a very very quick tool to flare them out. I ran a few through my 22 caliber gascheck making tool and then I put it on a 22 cast bullet. Here's picture of it. I sized it in a sizer dies by pounding it through so the bullet nose doesn't look good. It seems the ideas if feasible and now as I write this another thing popped into my head. I remember how hard it was to size, perhaps a large pistol primer would size easier, aren't the slightly thinner?
