Did the tool to make bullet jackets out of 22lr cases work?

Yea, cool for sure.

Interesting photos but what point are you trying to make?

That all of the expended bullets used USED BRASS SHELLS as jackets!

Too cool!

Swaging a 45acp case down to make a .458 diameter bullet for a 45-70 is genius!

I want to know more!

I bought a somewhat cheaper alternative from a company named SportFlite. Here's a pic of .224 bullets I made with them.


You can use all sorts of brass to make bullets. I've made .44magnum bullets out of .40 S&W cases, .40 caliber bullets out of 9mm cases, and both 35 caliber rifle and pistol bullets out of .380 auto and .223 cases. Be creative and you can make it work.

40 caliber


.357




You can buy the CH dies to make bullets at www.ch4d.com for 130$ plus shipping.

Nice work, I've looked at the CH website a few times. It's too bad they don't make dies for 22 caliber bullets. Their pricing is pretty friendly.
