Handloads


Recommended Posts

While waiting to get my FAC back (fingers crossed) I've been doing a lot of theoretical research, working out what guns to go for. I recently found that it is possible to handload the 22WMR. Not reload, the soft brass used in rimfire cases deforms too much, but handload new factory brass. The WMR takes the .224 bullet that all the 22 centrefire rounds use. Has anybody on this site tried handloading WMR?

Yes it can be done, but as Jamie says it's a lot of grief. You'd only do it for a different bullet anyway, and with the 30gr V-max about to hit out shores, why not just use that? Hornet would be the way to go if you want a low power reloadable round.
