If you had money for one caliber of bullet making dies for making hunting bullets for your Small Caliber what would it be. Choices would be .14, .17, .20, ,22, and 6mm.

an unleaded .20 since it appears that's the direction CA is going if the current bills get passed.

OK
You got my interest. My small caliber centerfire is .222. If I went smaller caliber it be a .17 not sure which one. I pick the .17 because .20 is too close to .222. If I didn't have several deuces I might pick a .20. Picking up a .280 today so a .17 will have to wait.

Mine are .224 barrels. If not sure one should take the gun to a smith could be a .223 dia barrel. Some/most Hornet barrels are .223 dia.

Sagerat, unleaded bullets have to be made via powder metallurgy processes - press and sinter - not by swaging, as far as I know.
