.22 REM Jet Brass

Greetings all.
Does anybody know of a source (within our community) for .22 Jet Brass?
I have checked auctions and all the major suppliers, but would prefer to buy/trade here before going to a commercial supplier.

I picked up a SWEET T/C Contender, mid 1970's MFG. Original owner, only fired about 25-30 rounds.... PRISTINE!!!!!!

Good luck.. the 22 Jet went out with rug beating. I.would buy new brass where ever I could get it,,I have a 10 in, 221,, I bought new brass 30 years ago.and still have it to this day.

There are still plenty out there, but I would rather network than support big business.

What are the chances you could find a set of forming dies? The 22 Jet was originally made by necking down .357 Remington Magnum cases.

Lost Sheep

New forming dies are available, pricey though.

You could make em from .357 brass, but sooner or later brass will be available. 280 shooter, love my .221 also, 40 gr. Sierra HP at 2700!!

Found brass to be plentiful at Reedsammo. The shells are perfectly formed, well annealed and even have a 22 REM MAG headstamp.

Just loaded a batch using 45 gr. Hornet bullets in JSP and JHP over WW-296. Recipe calls out 12.3 gr. for a velocity of 2,400 FPS.

I'm going out to beat some rugs as soon as the weather clears.

Thinking back, this was easier to find than .22 LR ammo on a store shelf!

Let us know how it shoots, I have always been interested in the cartridge, I thought the Smith 53 would be all that!

Once the weather clears a bit and the range dries out, I will take her for a spin.
T/C has a reputation for accuracy, so its a matter of tuning up the round to perfection.

The S&W 53 was plagued by Case Set-Back, otherwise a fine revolver. I have seen several for sale in my neck of the woods, but cant justify $1,000 while I still have other, (more practical) things on the bucket list.
