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.

Acquired these two little beauties (complete) last week for my ongoing rimfire handloading project.
Top is a CZ 455, Simmons 6.5-20x44 scope, A-TEC Wave moderator, 2 x 10 round 1 x 5 round magazines. Calibre .22 WMR.
Bottom is a Savage 93, Weaver 3-9 scope, .17 cal moderator. Calibre .17 HMR. It is a left hander to boot, Huzzah!

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.

How do you get the compound into the rim. ?

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.
Sorry but I no longer do such posts about my projects and shooting on here any more.
