20 to 17 Jacket Sizer

Price $225.00

Redraws a 224 commercial jacket (Sierra, J4, Hines) or a 224 jacket made from a fired 22LR case to 20 caliber and and again to 17 caliber.

Includes core seating punches for redrawn commercial jackets and RF jackets. Two seating punches in each caliber for the taper wall commercial jackets and one seating punch in each caliber for the jackets made from RF cases.

224 Spire Point Set

Price $542.00

Three die set that makes a .224″ flat base, open tip bullet with a 14 degree spire point ogive. The spire point is like a sharp pencil. It was popular in the mid 1930s and into the early 1940s but the spitzer ogive is now better known. The spire point can shoot quite well but may need to be seated out of the case further to contact the rifling.

The ogive is about 5/16″ long. Especially good if 22LR cases are used for the jacket. A jacket of around .705″ will make a 48 to 60 grain bullet.

The bullet on the left is made using a fired 22LRcase. The bullet is a flat base open tip and weighs 52 grains. On the right is a bullet made using a J4 .705″ long jacket. The bullet weighs 57 grains. Change the core weight to make other bullet weights.

224 DDS Set

Price $230.00

This set is used to convert a finished 224 bullet into a Dual Diameter bullet also called a Bore Rider bullet.

This is often used for bullets that have short ogives if the bullet is to be seated out of the cartridge case further to gain more powder room.

The bearing of the bullet is reduced from .224″ to .215″ for part of the length of the bearing. The small diameter will enter the rifling and rest on the rifling lands. The loaded cartridge can be ejected without having the bullet stuck in the rifling. The dual diameter bullet is also popular with target shooters as the small diameter aligns and guides the bullet in the barrel.

The photo shows a round nose bullet, a 6S bullet, and a 6S bullet made with a fired 22LR case. The center bullet shows the dual diameter the best. The length of the reduced section can be varied as wanted.
