Trouble finding .22 Long Rifle, roll your own.

First question is: Unfy were you involved in the development of this?  Kind of sounds like your science kit here.

Now has anyone tried this, wondering if it works or is just a gimmick?

bkoenig:
Seems like an awful lot of work for .22, but it's a neat idea.  It would be nice to have "just in case".

shooter:
 I bought a book that told how to do that back in the 70,s  the hard part is finding the compound to fill the rim with, it used to be you scraped off the material from a strike anywhere match, but you cant find them any more,  plus, you have to make sure that you don't strike the same place on the rim,
  Its a lot of work, I tried it a few times, but it can be done

GreyGeek:
Watch all the .22 casings lying around on the ground out at Ike's shooting range disappear! ;D

unfy:
LOL

Not my doing.  If I had access to mill & lathe - maybe - but alas ._.

I did look into 22LR reloading, but deemed that I didn't like working with the primer material at all.  As in mixing / creating it yourself.  Yes, even I am nervous around primary explosives :D.  Some of the wet paste that you then let dry seemed safer, but I still wasn't happy about it.

And yes, you can use nails to clean and maybe reform the rim a little (generally just try to orient casing so that the pin squeezes a different part though)... and the strike anywhere powder... some gun powder, and some lead to reload your own 22LR.  Old old old school country folk were doing that for ages.
