A dumb, dumb swaging question, .22 Magnum brass to make heavier .224" bullets???

Hi all,

I have seen the dies or kits around for years to make 50 to 55 grain-ish projectiles out of .22LR brass. I was just wondering if you could use .22 Magnum brass and make heavier .224" projectiles???

Thanks!

The punch to derim them may need to be longer.
I use them to make 6mm/.243 bullets.

Okay, thanks! I was just wondering if it would be possible to make something comparable to the much coveted (read expensive) 77 grain Sierra Match King bullet. Thanks!

while yes you can make a 77 grain bullet with 22 mag brass. Its not going to rival the Match King because in its best its not going to be a match bullet. But it should give you ok accuracy and do a pretty good job of delivering kinetic energy to a varmint or target down range.
