[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1102621"] I'm pretty sure a 22 TCM will be close enough as brass is free. Pick up enough, short by head stamp and go. Brass: $0.00 Primer: $0.05 Powder: $0.02 (2 grains of Trail Boss or Blue Dot) Bullet: $0.15 Total $.022 Works for me. I diddled up a 20 TCM. $0.01 cheaper but can't go sub sonic like the 22 with a 30 grain Barns VG. I don't know the terminal results of a VG at 22LR velocities. Considering it meets the CA state requirement, I'm good with what ever comes out. There's one more thing I want to try. Running a 22 Hornet into the 5.7x28FN die and seeing how it comes out. I have to do some case mock ups anyway so I'll throw that in. It has one draw back compared to the TCM or 5.7. Brass is not free or cheep. [/QUOTE]
