22 Hornet Shooters

[Delmonico]

Do any of you out shoot and reload for one of these sweet little rifles.  More to the point has any of you ever been crazy enough to play with cast bullets in one?  I've been working with one on and off for a couple of years, ain't pulled my hair out yet, but was curious if anyone else has had this form of insanity.

BTW it is starting to come around.

I haven't but I'm definitely that crazy. I don't have any bullet moulds, yet.

I'll send you some bullets next time I cast some, I'm almost out right now.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Thanks, pard. What mould(s) do you have? I might have to start looking at gunshows for some.

I've got the 225415, casts 55 they say out of #2, I cast with lino and it comes out 52.  I wanted it for the flatnose as a squirrel bullet.

I want one of the 225438, same shape as the 22 LR bullet and weighs 44 gr. 

[Silver Creek Slim]

I think ya mean the 225438 for the 44 gr bullet.

OK, I done did it wrong, I fixed it.   One reason one should check posted load data with a know source, you could have put 21.5 grs of Bullseye in a 44 mag if I'd goofed on posting load data.
