I always wanted to try one of those out--never got around to it.

I like that one. It makes sense too, resizing to fit Magnum barrels, since they usually seem to be a bit more loose than .22LR.

That's pretty neat especially if you want to shoot precision. In the long run it looks like it might save you some money on match grade ammo. I use a bullet sizer on my .45 cal./500 gr. black powder Creedmore Match rifle. Having a bullet the right diameter really makes a difference esp shooting long range.

At the risk of offending a lot of users, I would never buy this tool. Pounding rimfire ammunition is not the way to go. Buy decent match ammo and shoot that. Those that think it helps have probably just had a better day of shooting conditions than any difference in how the ammo performs.

Unless you use wind flags, and are experienced reading them, and have a solid benchrest setup and technique, my take is you are wasting your time.

Go ahead, I have my Nomex flight suit on. poke

Dean,

I think this is a good time to point folks to the article you wrote on the 22LR but I can't find it!  Hopefully one of the other guys with a better memory than me will point us to it!

I need that guy to do a review for me-that video on youtube got 5,000 some views in 3 days! wow

I think I would be a bit freaked out pounding on that tool, on my workbench at least, I think there would be many improvised firing pins!

Its a neat idea, especially for the different points you can make…for accuracy dunno...there are some of us that like to play, if it was less than $100 I'd be tempted to order one. embarassed

funny thing is the first time I checked into one of the Paco tools it was only $69...  And that was only a few years back.

It reminds me of the cartoon where a guy works in an ammunition factory and whacks the ammo with a hammer to see if they are duds. I get nervous about using a bullet puller sometimes.

I am the premiere gadget guy, and if I thought that I was shooting any of my guns up to their maximum ability, I'd do this. Every gun I own shoots better than I can shoot it, and regarding .22 lr especially, I'm with Dean. Find the right ammo for the gun, there is more readily available and relatively affordable ammunition for .22 lr than any other caliber. Get the shooter dialed in, get the right ammunition, then fix the ammunition if you must.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Jody, I can't remember if I posted that article here or not. Here's the link to Specialty Pistols.
