has anybody in here taken a .22 LR and turned it into a .223-.224 projetile?

If so how hard is it and what tools do I need to do this?

I don't ever remember the question
being asked before.

Im not quite understanding this question. Why would you want to pull the bullet from a .22 LR and load it into a .223 case? Or are you talking about the entire round?

I think he's referring to using the .22 brass to make .223 casings. I've heard of this before but I don't know how to do it.

Yes, I remember it being asked before. I do believe it was here at XD talk too. There is a website that explains it very well, but I don't have it with me right now.

(just as I explained on your other thread about this)

ichy_trigger · 03-05-2008, 09:42 AM

Oh I got ya, yes, I believe what you are refering to is being able to utilize the .22 casing to manufacture FMJ bullets. Its been on here before but you will have to search for it.

Swaging a .22LR case into a brass jacketed projectile for the .223 I just read about it in one of my gun rags I'll see if I can find it online.

"Edited" haha... Here's a link to the online article same as the one I read in the Shooting Times magazine.

This is what you want.

If you have a huge supply of brass, lead, and time I don't see why not.
