hello guys! i have been wondering lately how easy it would be to make .22 smokeless cartridges into blackpowder ones. i was thinking about making my own rimfire target pistol and shooting blackpowder .22s out of it because of the lower pressures. i have built blackpowder guns from scratch, and now i want to try rimfire guns, but i don't want the high chamber pressures. i own two cap and ball .22 revolvers and have no problem with the fouling. i know it is intensified in small bores but i am having no problems with it in my handguns even after 50 shots.
i am thinking i might be able to pull some .22 CBs like Aguilla Colibris, and fill the case with powder and reseat the bullet. i am also considering buying primed .22 brass and reloading it with powder and Gamo lead .22 BBs or the conical bullets they sell at North American Arms. i can get the projectiles easily, i have hundreds. i have plenty of powder, enough to reload tons of them. the only problem is finding the primed brass. i am unsure where to find any, i do remember seeing some online though. i just can't find any!
any advice would be recommended, if anybody has experience in this please comment!
