Let me start by saying , I have been on a mission to load .22 mag ammo. I have have a thousand Win .22 mag new primed cases and a thousand 40 gr jhp bullets . C&H made me a shell holder, All I am lacking is a seating die. I have been thinking about grinding a 22 hornet seating die as no body makes dies for the 22lr& 22mag. I want to load these 22mags all the same and to the same percsion as winchester dose. I can`t see me trying to seat a bullet in the case by hand then taking a pair of pliers or side cutters and put some sort of crimp on them. I guess I could pay someone hundreds of bucks to make a seating die but that would take the fun out of it, and I can buy a bunch of factory.22mag for what the cost of a die. I have A S&W 48 , 5 single six`s and looking to buy a nice rifle. I wished I never retired its so much work always busy. Thanks for letting me vent. GodBless you all.
