And here it is!

Had a great day at the range with it. Light recoiling, easy ejection, accurate enough with cheap Chinese ammo, great fun to shoot.

Rifle next to it is a Bremmer Arms M16A2 in .22lr which is all too much fun as well.

Yes, I have been successfully reloading .22 LR for a few months now, my "Eley Tenex performance at CCI Blazer prices" endeavour has worked out well so I just thought I would move on to other rimfires. These two calibres will be much easier as they don't require heeled bullets.

I make a slurry with acetone and use a piece of shaped bamboo to pack it into place, takes bout 10 seconds per case.

No, fired brass.
