WTB 22 LR Brass for swaging .224 bullets

IllinoisCoyoteHunter · January 29, 2013, 09:32 PM

Hey fellas!

I am looking for 22LR brass. I have on order swaging dies and personally don't shoot a lot of .22s. If you can help please let me know. As far as a price I prefer not to pay more than scrap prices (plus shipping cost of course). If you feel overly generous and want to give them away, I will gladly pay shipping costs...

Thanks for looking!!!!!!

I would also be willing to trade some home cast bullets for 9mm, 38, 357 (130 grain, 147 grain, and 158 grain sized at .358"), 175 grn truncated cone sized at .401", or 230 grain truncated cone sized at .452". I may also have some 50 cal bullets floating around somewhere (I have most all my stuff boxed up...in the middle of moving). But I DO know where the above mentioned bullets are. Thanks!

Try going to any range and you should have a few thousand to start with.

sorry, can't help much with any "quantity" of 22 cases, but my retired machinist buddy has been doing this for years... ( he made all his own swagging stuff ) I've actually been pretty impressed with them... I've never tried them in something like 22-250, but have shot quite a few of them in my 22 Hornets...

right now he's been busy swagging light weight soft point .243 bullets into light weight 25 caliber bullets for his rimless 256 magnum ( uses shortened 223 cases instead of 357 mag cases )
