change pointed .22 to round nose

[flounderman]

I have a herters 22475 mold that the bullet looks it came out of a pencil sharpener. I would like to have it altered so it looks something like a .22 rimfire target bullet. who do we have I can contact to ream it out? I have a 92 in 218 bee and don't like the pointed bullet in a tubular magazine. the old mk111s and ezxs were some of the most accurate bullets I have ever shot, rimfire or centerfire. that has to be a good design, unless lengthening it would change the propertys of the design. daryl

As I recall that mould is similiar to lyman 225450 - It is a faily long bullet and altering it may increase the weight beyond useful limits in the B & hornet -- Perhaps a used 22596, 225438 or 225462 would be less costly -- my ha-penny

Either trade it, we have a nice trading area here, or send it to Buckshot and have him hollow point it and make you a flat nose pin as well as a HP. I would be real leery of trying to "ream it out". That nose is pretty long now, it might make it unusable.

I might like the idea of a flat nose. how do I get ahold of buckshot. I usually just answer people that contact me?

That link should get you to Buckshots page and you can contact him by PM from there. BTW-He's the guy riding in the pic, not the beast of burden. Many folks confuse them.:mrgreen:

Yep, I think the burro is the more handsome of the two. That's the one on the top - right?

Before you stick any extra money in your mould, just try a different nose punch or better yet try sizing nose first. if your alloy is right, instant flat-nose is what you'll get. They shoot fine in my 22 Hornets, 218 Bee's, 222 Remington's etc.....Geo
