I have owned a number of 22 RF rifles over the years.
My 581 is by far the most accurate.
It is not so fussy about which ammo you feed it.

If I get over to the east side to shoot sage rats, I will easily shoot over 1000.
If just shooting for fun, insert plinking here, it will be more like 500.
I`ll tell you how long that I have been loading.
Winchester primers came that same box with wooden trays.
loading presses came with flat and rounded primer seating punches. :shock:

My lot of WC820 says to use AA9 data.
I have and that has worked out well.
My lot of WC844 says to use H335 data.
That has worked out well, also.

I have the Hornady model that dverna is alluding to.
I am happy with mine.

I only shoot the CCI CB long or CB Short in my 10" Contender barrel.
I also like Aguila Calibri and Super Calibri.
They're used only in short barreled fire arms.

I have two 22 caliber molds.
Both are Lyman classic GCs.
225415 and 225438
I cast them from linotype and have no more rejects than my 25, 7MM, or 30 caliber molds.
I shoot these bullets in my 22...

I have those sauces that you mention.
That sounds really good.
How much of it do you mix into a 5# batch?

What Larry said.
I have used jacketed data for cast bullets in handguns since I began reloading.
I do not have pressure testing equipment but have not had any issues.

I have NEVER had a FTF due to bad primers.
I have been reloading since the early 60s.
ALMOST always, a FTF was due to firearms issues.
Primers not seated firmly on the bottom of the primer pocket...
311291 is the first mold that I bought.
A single cavity that I still have.
It shoots well in any 30-caliber cartridge that will handle it.
I have no experience with the 311041 so I can`t compare...
I`m using 700X, because I have 10# of it.
I have used several other powders with equal success.

Bi Mart, in Grants Pass, OR, finally has primers, mostly CCI.
They are running at $.08 apiece.

If it is legal where you live, use an 17 or 22 cal air rifle.
Save them to eat.

There are plenty of crows here in SW Oregon.
If I broadcast Crow Fight on my Fox Pro they come in flocks.
311291 was designed for the 30-30.
It has performed well in any 30-caliber gun that I have used it in.

I`m with 45_Colt.
I have been cleaning/polishing brass with walnut media for a number of years.
I have used many different brass polishing additives with the walnut.
Dillons is definitely the best...
