About a year or two before the election I could see the way things were going with politicians determined to destroy our gun rights either directly or by choking off supplies. My logic was that swaging looked like another neat part of my shooting hobby, but also if things went bad politically, I'd have bullets & my equipment investments would only become more valuable. At least that was my rationalization at the time.

I decided to get set-up to swage .224 cal bullets from .22 rimfire casings. To tell the truth, after all the equipment I needed was purchased I probably could have bought a lifetime of .224 Sierras! Still it's fun & I enjoy it & I still think there is some good logic in my original thinking.

BTW: My expectations were fairly low on the quality of my .22lr jacketed bullets. I mainly wanted to feed a couple of .223's for plinking & varmints. But I was really surprised at how accurate my bullets came out! Brass bullets shoot great!

FWIW...
