In reply to Gregory Smith. If you're going to be reloading or handloading 22 mag it will require the whole process and they have 22mag dies and such but I only know of the Sharpshooter brand.

Sam I do own a sharpshooter reloader. Using it involves casting bullets from lead and making your own priming mixture.
Since you seem to be aware of “hand loading” for the .22 wmr could you please tell the rest of us where to purchase new components; like sized bullets and primed cases? Oh and maybe a sizing/ loading die from some other company than sharp shooter? Do you have any powder suggestions or loading data?
That would be great. Thanks

In reply to William. I don't want to argue but it is indeed possible to handload 22 WMR rounds. Remember that there's a difference between handloading and reloading. They even have commercial products to help, check out the sharp shooter rimfire reloader.

In reply to Sam M.

Sure looked like it to me
Nevertheless some people prefer to hand load their 22wmr to their own specs.
Its in the section prior to the conclusion, about midway.

In reply to Gary Shoup. I never said anything about reloading 22 magnums. I simply said that many people prefer to handload their rounds so ... where did you have trouble understanding?

You can’t reload a 22 magnum. RIMFIRE! Makes the rest of the article look, as if you’re just copying others information, with no actual hands on experience.
