I'm going to try a different .223 cartridge for the pellets. It has a brass base and composite case. I can't easily press a .22 pellet into the neck, so it won't need to be resized, just figure out a way to get it in there. Maybe heat?The brass case mouths on .223 gets stretched out when firing, so I just used a really sharp punch to put a little dimple in the base of the neck so the pellet wouldn't fall through into the case. Resizing one won't allow the pellet to be inserted.</blockquote>
