Home Made 224 55gr JHP

[Chief_10Beers]

I did some horse trading and acquired about 1000 of these from a friend. He makes them out of 22LR shells. He has quite the set up and has about a grand invested in Dies.

I rolled up 200Rnds ( #400 CCI Primers and 21.5gr of Hodgdon H322 powder ) to try out and off to the Range I went with my Mini-14 to do some plinking. My best grouping was 1.5' to 2" with Irons at 100yds, Avg is about 3". Had a blast wacking Bowling Pins, 12" Steel plates and 3liter Bottles at 100yds. :mrgreen:

I shot all 200 and not one problem...............................

Yep use Corbins dies to make my own .224 bullets out of 22LR cases. Made bullets from 45 grs to 75 grs and yes when done right they shoot just as good as store bought bullets!
