I found an outfit that sells a kit to reload 22 rimfire. Seems pretty interesting.
Kits come with mold to cast bullets and chemicals to make your own priming compound.
I'm thinking about buying the kit ($129.00)
I was just wondering if anybody has done this.
I also powder coat so I think little multiple color rimfire bullets would be cool if they shoot good.
I wouldn't bother. But I'm very interested in getting the tooling to turn spent .22lr cases into jacketed .223 bullets! I have some samples, they're mighty cool. I'm even gathering a stash of brass, just in case.

I wonder what powder coating would do to rifling?

Doesn't hurt rifling a bit. It's just polyester based powdered paint. Acts as a lubricant on cast bullets, replacing the traditional sticky, greasy, waxy lubes that smoke, stink, and collect dirt. Virtually eliminates lead fouling too, and doesn't hurt accuracy either. Sniff around on the Cast Boolits forum, there's tons of info and a LOT of people doing it. I do it myself, but haven't done it a lot yet.

Does the kit address the dimple that firing a 22 rimfire causes? how do you straighten the brass back out?
Got a link to the kit?
Thanks

Is the web site I saw where they reload 22 rimfire. I don't think they have a took for straightening out the firing pin indention but a screw driver and hammer should take care of that.
I am reluctant to buy it now as coming up with a proper and safe priming compound might be a headache.
I don't want to go get strike anywhere matches and scrap the tips off to use as priming compound.

I hope 22reloader.com is better at engineering their tools than designing a website!

Check out 22lrreloader.com.
Better website, and they have priming compound.
