| Just tapping the cleaning rod will upset it as it passes through the bore. |

| Probably will. I don't know of a soul that would cast a all lead .22 cal. bullet. I'm sure one cast from ww would be too hard. Phil |

| The lead in the .22 probably isn't too awfully far from wheelweights in composition, but swaging lead/antimony alloys work-softens them. |

| If you have trouble w/ the .22, and I know no reason why you should, a #4 buck will work. |
