NAA Companion .22 C&B RBs...

[Old Ironsights]

Anybody cast/use RBs for the .22 NAA C&B (16gr?) ? They sell a 30gr conical, but it's $5/100, and I like RB better in C&B anyway and would like some feedback... :drinks:

Who sells a 30-gr. conical? What's the diameter? Why do I ask so many questions? This sounds like a fun bullet for the .22 Hornet.

Actually the bullets are a swaged bullet similar to what is used for the 22lr except it does not have a heel. Honestly $5 a hundred is pretty cheap, BUT.

Wholesale on them is only $3.36 per 100 but there would be shipping on them, one wholesaler I deal with has 1500 of them in stock. I dunno about you guys but I can't see casting bullets or balls for a mini revolver when you can buy (1000) for $33.60 ??

I suppose it's because this is a casting forum? ;)

Actually, in general I like RB in C&B because I like to "swage on loading". That lead ring is a good thing IMO.

I wonder if there is a .22 buckshot that would work?

I wonder if .22 pellets from air guns would have a use in them?

(duuhhh I must be losing it...) Interesting thought! ... now I will DEFINATELY have to get one of them buggers...

(One of the things I really want to try is shooting it without powder... sort of like a home-made super-colibri pistol without the 4473...)

#f is 22 cal. and #4 buck is 24 cal. does that help? dmen

[Old Ironsights]

Yep. Thanks!

I bet that you could get in on the Group buy for the .22 caliber mould-IF it ever gets started!:bigsmyl2:

I just went to the NAA website; 100 conicals for $4.00 plus $7.00 shipping and handling. Interest fading............

what about 22 cal round balls for airguns, gamo and benjamin have them. bu tnot sure what size they woul dactually be. I think they are about 15 grn.

I have fired 22 pellets in a 22 hornet TC 10" barrel, they work with no powder at all, and I went as high as 1.0 of bullseye.

I shoot Frontier Cartridge (Black Powder only) in Cowboy Action Shooting. Love the buck & roar. :Fire:
Our side matches include .22 rifle and .22 pistol, so in effort to be a purist (or just to have SOME bragging rights) I pulled the bullets and powder from some .22 LR's and replaced them with Holy Black 4F powder and pressed in the NAA .22 bullets with a bit of glue to hold them in.

They work very well for side matches, accurate enough for Cowboy distances but bark unremarkably and smoke very little. :roll: You get your fun where you find it. :drinks:
