I know it is a stupid question to ask , but then again someone must have found a way to do it. As far as know you can not pull a rimfire bullet in a inertia bullet puller. The reason why i ask , its just that those 30 & 35 grain (CCI .22 WMR) bullets simply look to good not to reload . Has anyone ever tried this I would appreciate some input. And can you get the Winchester Supreme 34 gr. in reloading form , simply cant seem to find these in South - Africa. I want to try this in my favorite rifle , my trusty little Brno .22 Hornet | ||

as a kid I used my teeth, not a bright kid, but it did work. Please don't try this at home!!

Scot, "...as a kid I used my teeth, not a bright kid, but it did work..." We still do! I will post a real horror story with rim fires in Walter's forum. Even hair still stands on end even now when I think about it! ------------------ www.accuratereloading.com | |||

Isn't it amazing that any of us made it to adulthood? Not only pulling .22 bullets with our teeth... throwing them on the sidewalk to hear the bang. | |||

I am amazed that no one else caught on to the fact that you were pulling 22 MAGNUM bullets instead of 22 Long Rifle bullets. But I have done it. I've even done it with an inertia puller...Just not with the whole loaded round. Though you could probably get away with it, it would be risky. A collet style puller would probably work better than what I felt I had to do. What I did was to take a small tubing cutter and I cut the case in the middle. or rather as close to the primer end as I could get. I then "Flared" the cut end of the case with a plumbing tubing flaring tool. THEN I pulled the bullets from the remaining brass tube with the inertia puller. It's a lot of trouble, and most of the bullets used can be ordered separately, but in your situation I could see how even this might be less problem than trying to get unloaded projectiles. | |||

The fact that all of you guys are still alive, or in one piece at least, proves without doubt that there is a god for drunkards and... fools ------------------ | |||

This particular juvenile used to take a paperclip, unbend one half of it till you could sit the large loop on the ground & the smaller loop was situated on a 45 degree angle. Then a 22LR was set on the launching pad, and a match was held under the case till it went off. Warning, do NOT do this! | ||
