Another crazy idea!
See, I have all these .22LR casings left about. I'd like to turn them into more bullets, but I don't want the same bullet. I want more, 'oomph' more, pizazz. Essentially, I want a hotter load. Now, I don't know about reloading, never done it, never tried, but I'd like to. So, I need to know, what would I need to reload these casings, and what powders would give me better performance (from a Daisy .22LR carbine) ballistically? I know it'd normally be a waste of time to reload them, but I'm going to put something hot in them, so they'll smash stuff up more (mainly for target shooting, mice and shit are sort of an afterthought) and give a bit more noise.

WoW, you might want to stick with rubber band guns for now.

Since there is no removeable primer, you can't reload a rimfire cartridge... and since high grade ammo is only about $.035 per shot, you couldn't reload as inexpensively as you can buy, even if it were possible.

If you want something zippier, try the CCI Stinger. They clock at about 1400 fps.

If you want something about as fun as a center fire rifle can be, you might want to consider a .223. Still a .22, but nothing like the rimfire.... pushes 55 grains at 3200 fps or so.

Okay, thanks denton. If I ever do get a decent .223 rifle, I'll try it, but stay away from Wolf ammo... [Big Grin]
