Reloading .22 Long Rifle 1.0

Loading information can be found here: tacticalwoodsman.wordpress.co...
This video was filmed on October 19, 2016 and shows the initial steps in reloading .22 long rifle. More videos are to come regarding this topic.

[@PVMscales]

You, sir, are one patient man. I've seen other content creators post videos here, but the individual videos seem to exclude the entire process. It seems to be more laborious than standard reloading. More power to ya for not only reloading 22 LR but also instructing it.

[@joearledge1]

I'd definitely love to see the completion of this reloading series all the way through load development 😊

[@fredford7642]

Nice to see some information on reloading the .22, but I don't thinhk is was necessary to go through the full 13 minutes on resizing the cases and nothing else. Bummer

[@robertwest3093]

Reminds me of that quote "this is an exercise in futility" That applies to reloading .22lr😊

[@imoreviews8611]

You could try to relieve the opening of the shell holder with a Dremel tool. May allow a little more room for warping of the rim

[@arizona-4734]

There’s another KZbinr who has a successful method for resizing the rim also. Traffer is his name.

[@freedom-vc9wi]

Theres a zip tie hack where you face your shell holder the the left and ajust the zip tie to kick out the shell when you push you handle up try it i did it for 45 and 9mm

*For a cheap primer that works 100% of the time just use good old fashioned 'Corrosive Primer' Chemical (Sodium Chlorate, NAClO3 59% + 39% powder sugar and 2% virgin battery acid). The acid carbonizes some of the sugar and makes the NaClO3 more volatile. (Note: Don't use Potassium Chlorate as a substitute for Sodium Chlorate!) This makes a good working home-made H-48 type compound in the simplest way possible! Much safer than making Lead-Azide plus NAClO3 , Sugar and battery acid are all soluble in water! (Don't forget to put a squirt of WD40 down your gun barrel after shooting to prevent rust but its an overrated problem useless you plan to store your gun for long periods of time.) Just make sure your home made H-48 primer is VERY dry before loading any gun powder in the shell, like sitting a few days in the hot summer Sun on a black tray! (150F. for 48 hours!!!) Also you can remove the flat spot on the rim by machining a hardened steel rod that fits the diameter of the .22 casings ID. Place round on a 1/4" sheet of tough **#75D** rubber, insert rod and smack rod firmly with hammer. No more strike mark on the casings rim! (If end gets too dome shaped flip casing over and gently strike on domed end with hammer to flatten, done.) You can reload these about 20 to 30 times before cases get too weak and split.* Note: Before starting any of this tumble your brass for 2 days in a bed of #9 bird shoot or until its very clean!

[@Preyhawk81]

I think Zincperoxide and sulfur would be an good primary and it would be less corosive. Any infos on that?

[@johnslugger]

@@Preyhawk81 Zincperoxide is a bitch to make! Sodium Chlorate can be made at home with some salt water, Platinized electrode (anode) and a battery charger for DC power.

[@kevins1114]

I really like that Hornady Unique case lube. It also works great for case forming. About priming mixtures - do you know if Tannerite can be used for that purpose? Scraping cap gun caps tends to get a bit tedious.

[@SladeMcCuiston]

I don't know about using tannerite, but I'd assume that's dangerous.

[@joearledge1]

Some commercial primer recipes have included explosives. (TNT, RDX, ect..) these were/ are in nanoscopic amounts and mixed with a list of other ingredients. So tannerite might be viable. I wouldn't think it would be sensitive enough by itself to be set off by the firing pin 🤷‍♂️. I could be wrong though. If you experiment, please be smart, safe, and share your results with the community. 😊

[@stevengregersen7950]

13 minutes of resizing cases with a few good points in the commentary. Would be much better if he used a representative sample of case sizing then on to the next step.

[@robertmckinley2886]

What do you do about the firing pin punch mark on the rim of reloads ? Too many of the punch marks is conductive of misfires due to the firing pin hitting it again.

[@SladeMcCuiston]

Unfortunately, there's not a good way to fix the dent. Just load the cartridge to where there old dent is at least 90 degrees, preferably 180 degrees, from the firing pin. Easy to do in a detachable box magazine, not easy but possible in a single shot, and not possible in a tubular magazine.

[@camm.7106]

@@SladeMcCuiston why not make a punch that fits down the neck then lightly tap the dent out before putting your new primer mix in? Would help to fix this issue no?

[@SladeMcCuiston]

@@camm.7106 It's hard to get a thin enough punch to get into the now-crimped rim of the case.

[@massimoprampolini5348]

come ripristini l'anello inescante del bossolo. Che tipo di materiale esplosivo di innesco utilizzi? how to restore the primer ring of the cartridge case. What kind of explosive ignition material do you use? thank you

[@budbundy5021]

I didn't even know you could reload 22lr

[@harrisonblackwood2378]

No offense, but this wasn't reloading .22 it was watch me resize .22 brass. Over and over again

[@SladeMcCuiston]

Understood. It's "1.0" There are going to be more. It's a series. I just haven't had time to work on it more right now.

[@TheLoobis]

Well, I won't be wasting my time. Thanks.

[@homerscustoms7635]

Where did you get the dies for the .22 long rifle to resize them?

[@SladeMcCuiston]

22lrreloader.com makes a set. That's where I got mine. CH4D and a couple other companies make some as well.

[@charliecowan6277]

What die are u using to resize. ?

[@drunkenhillbilly456]

Are you going to give any information on this.

[@SladeMcCuiston]

Yes, but there are a few snags in my current process that make a dud here and there. I don't want to release information on a flawed way of doing things. When I get it perfected, I'll share. I have many other projects and work midnights so this is on the back burner for a while.

[@martinkennedy603]

@@SladeMcCuiston 3yrs late and jack shit!

[@Jaemon4Eva]

Where did you purchase the die and which one?

[@SladeMcCuiston]

I purchased the die from 22lrreloader.com. They have a page where you can purchase the Prime All compound, the dies for .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle, the dies for .22 Magnum, and the loading tool for each.

[@homerscustoms7635]

And where do you get the bullet tip for the 22long rifle?

[@SladeMcCuiston]

I'm casting my own bullets.

[@javant6993]

I'd like to know what keeps the rim from collapsing

[@SladeMcCuiston]

I guess it's just strong enough. I haven't had that be an issue.

[@Navigatorbythestars]

Hello , where did you purchase your 22lr shell holder and resizing die?

[@SladeMcCuiston]

22lrreloader.com

[@user-jo5if6us5f]

Don't you need a sitting die for reloading bullets? I looked it up and found that they only sell resizing dies.

[@SladeMcCuiston]

No. You seat the bullet by hand. Please read my article for more information: tacticalwoodsman.wordpress.com/2021/10/08/reloading-22-long-rifle-cartridges/

[@freedom-vc9wi]

I dont thing Primal is corrosive i use it for my pistol primers

[@SladeMcCuiston]

Prime-All is corrosive. It's also known as Armstrong's mixture. I have seen where people used it to remanufacture primers, but I don't understand why you would be remanufacturing primers when they are readily available. I've stopped using Prime-All in spent .22LR cases and just found a source to buy primed .22LR cases. It's cheaper and easier than trying to re-prime them.

[@jasonzee4561]

There no more shortage obama out of office!!!!

[@silverzixxersixxer]

Jason Zee and there goes 22lr again. Thanks Covid19!

[@jorgecervantes7644]

So why no new videos showing the rest of the process? 6 yrs is long enough. You go to jail maybe?

I was bored. Put me to sleep

[@ericlondono4251]

Only scrubs lube straight wall brass

[@SladeMcCuiston]

Only scrubs make posts like that. Number 1, these aren't carbide dies. You have to lube the cases or they'll get stuck. Number 2, rimfire cases have a folded case head that is inherently weak and can easily fail. You need to use lube or the case head can fail. I don't use case lube on straight wall pistol cartridges with carbide dies, but I do on everything else. Go troll somewhere else.

[@hokepoke3540]

Boring beyond belief, if i want to watch someone resize brass i will watch myself do it.

[@martinkennedy603]

This video is terrible plus you just left it here! Where is the shooting of the reloaded .22? Waste of time!!!

[@williamwallace9826]

WOW! Out of a 13-1/2 minute video, more than 11 minutes is just watching him run case after case after case after case after case after case ... through the sizing die. We never actually saw or learned how to reload a .22 LR cartridge. Complete waste of time.

[@Fireworxs2012]

*Somebody has more ambition than common sense....Fired 22 LR's are notoriously difficult to prime and powder charge consistently. About the only time this is worth the effort is if you're going to use them in a single shot firearm or/if/and there is absolutely NO OTHER OPTION, and even if you get it right, if you inadvertently load the reloaded shell with the previous firing crimp in the same position as the previous firing, you will get a mis/non-fire for your trouble. Even now, 6 years later, post goofballs hoarding all the ammo they can get their greasy prepper fingers on, phase, 22LR is not that expensive.*

[@SladeMcCuiston]

No need to be an ass. That's exactly what this is for. When/if there is no other option.
