Does anyone cast .225 bullets for gas check applications? I would like to find out of the diameter of the bullet base (before installing the gas check) is close to the same as the heel diameter for .22 Long Rifle bullets.
Work for what ?From what I've read, .209" should be about right. Some of those might work -- thanks.
A recent thread rekindled my interest in loading/reloading .22 Long Rifle. It can be done, but there aren't a lot of choices out there for bullets. If the gas check tail is the right diameter to work as the heel for heeled bullets, that might open up more possibilities.gwpercle said:Work for what ?
I see the wheels in your mind just a turning ...
what ingenious devices are you coming up with ...

Have you looked at the dimensioned drawings of NOE #223-38-RN-CC1 HB bullet mould .A recent thread rekindled my interest in loading/reloading .22 Long Rifle.

No, not doing .223. I have a bunch of XM193 for that.
