    I like shooting my 22 caliber cast boolits in my 22 Hornet. Tricky little round to get load tuned though.

    I want to go that rout too. Right now it's about the money. That stuff is expensive. Corbin's stuff is way expensive. Any chance of posting pics of your set up and what you make?:mrgreen:

    I've found that using 50 BMG fired primers can make decent quarter jackets for 9mm. Just have to anneal them first. I have not perfected them yet but I will be posting pictures soon.

    Oops.

    I think I bulged the core seat punch. I think it's because the lead that I thought was pure lead was not. Any one know of a good source for lead wire in N. California?

    There has to be a better way to get the nose to form w/o the pipe effect. Not much pressure is applied to the point forming. Not the kind of pressure used to seat the core.
