Swagging .224 53gn vmax to .204
Is this possible?

I really doubt that you would have a usable bullet doing that. It's quite a large reduction and the tip will most likely get pushed out or deformed.
|
Loose lead cores would also be a problem as the copper jacket would spring back more than the lead inside.

The 53gr Vmax, in comparison to other 22cal bullets of similar weight, is a far bit different and unlike most others because it has a very short bearing surface.
I'm not a bullet maker so I don't know if that would make it easier or more difficult to size it down to 20 cal but if it worked, without causing bullet construction issues, it could make for a sweet, high BC, 20 cal bullet. |
What about a 50 TNT? No tip, but flat base and short bearing surface.

Barrel life on the 20-250's isn't real long and I probably have enough 55gr Bergers to last through both barrels, but I wouldn't complain about a 53-ish grain Hornady tipped bullet in 20 cal either. I'm pretty picky about what I am willing to try and highly doubt I'd ever put anything like a swagged down bullet in any of my guns, but just out of curiosity, I wouldn't mind seeing what one looked like. |
I still want a 45g-48g 204 varmint slug that isn't benchrest 35+ cent per price.
