Thread: 22lr Resizing/Hollow Pointing Tool

I've sent you the money through PayPal.
Thanks

Hi SixtyTen. Are you able to message me about purchasing one of your die sets please. Cheers.

Following as this is very interesting and might be in the market soon

I'd be keen for a set if you do another run. Thanks

Id swear by winchester dynapoint and rabbit ammo for manys the randy jacko that lost his sex drive permanently via one of these pills out my my wee stirling.
In fact quite often the damage was bloody spectacular .
Ivividly remember a night on the landlords farm (i was his cheif culler) with loyal corgi in tow casing the band of willows in the paddock .yup two horny does set the boys right off screaming yellin and scrapping .
Id shot two who spat at me ,then took sight on the arse of one the biggest jackos ive ever seen.
He spun round ugly as sin and twice as mean as from about 5' I let rip he moved and bugger me took a slug right in the boiler room leaving a massive hole in the right side of his ribcage .dog me scope torch and rifle covered in blood before he thudded to the deck like a poleaxed steer!mrs wasnt too impressed when we got back to the house !bit of a clean up before beddy byes that night .

I never had a misfire or problem with either of those rounds ,nor the subsonic version in my toz17 but thew remington subsonic shit was politely f...g diabolical so much so possums sat and laughed at me!! that shit either went "bang" or "poof" bouncing up the road like a ladyboy at a champagne picnic!!

I have 6 sets ready to ship at the moment. Send me a PM if your interested.

Hi SixtyTen. If you still have a set available I'd like to purchase one please. Cannot find the link where to PM you.

The rounds that I put through this die and made a considerable hollow point, work very well on small game.
Bullet started out as a Winchester 42gn powerpoint, which had poor to average expansion on game, but with a small run through the die, it's completely transformed
Here's one I pulled from a rabbit shot at 80M last night.

Lots of doable stuff, always worth it to someone.

I would seriously buy a bag of Nosler Ballistic Tips to insert in the hollow points of CCI Velocitors to make them go trans-sonic even further out.

That's actually impressive expansion for a .22LR - I've not seen the good old faithful Aussie powerpoint expand that much. The die seems to be the goods alright.

That's good results. I have not recovered any for a while as I pretty much exclusively head shoot bunnies. The one you recovered matches my wet pack testing results pretty closely. That was just a cardboard box full of many layers of water soaked cardboard and paper.

Hmmmm ....... Let us folks know how this goes please....

Would the likes of a hand primer work for this. Have a sliding base that cartridge goes into and squeezing the handle pushes your hollow point in.
Just thought it may be quicker and able to be done whilst watching TV .....not that I'm knocking your system, it's just something I thought could be done without having a press setup (which I don't have) I've not looked into reloading, so this may be the cheapest/easiest way overall to achieve best results.
Just putting it out there as an outsider looking in.

The current design could be used in a lee hand press. The sizing forces are very low, so it would be easy on the hands.

So it's not too left field then. As I said, I don't reload, and don't have any real ambition to do so, therefore don't have any idea of the tools involved, but thought as a simple method to "hollow point" and resize, could be an option.
It's just figuring out the tooling required to achieve what's in my mind. I don't even know if it's possible without machining something up. Some of you skilled people out there would have a better idea if it's feasible.
If so, I'd be keen to purchase....
