[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 3077734, member: 35100"] I didn't realize a person could cast your cores -- but it makes sense a person could! Yes, the Corbin press is built like a tank! I'm retired and when I go to the range, I go for the whole day during the middle of the week when nobody else is there and take my Oehler Chronograph and several rifles. While the barrel is cooling on one rifle & before I shoot with another rifle, I scrounge around to pick up as many pieces of 22 brass as I can find. I've found that the shorts make good 35 gr bullets for my Hornet and the LR brass makes about 60 gr bullets for a .223. I haven't had to use LR brass yet for my .223 but they say you should keep the velocity below about 3000fps using .22 brass as jackets because it's more brittle than normal jacket material and will fly apart in the air if pushed too fast! I've stocked up on commercial 4-J 22 jackets, so have never had to rely on 22 brass for my bullets! [/QUOTE]
