I've seen some of the guns at a fair price but I never

fired a .22 Jet. The .357 case tapered to .223" (not .224?). I thought there was something special about the bullet diameter, the .22 LR being .222". I have seen a H&R single shot rifle chambered (seemingly factory done) for the .22 Jet.

I actually shoot my old .22 KC ammo from my .22 K-Hornet Contender barrel. Gary made mine, but it's an easy matter to take an old .22 LR TC barrel and re-chamber it to any .22 centerfire you desire. Remember the less you move that brass the longer it will last. Also if you back off just a bit the primer pockets will last lots longer as well. I get pocket expansion if I use them too long or too hot. The primers are then too loose.

I played with the .224-32FA and it is a good one. BUT to Bob Baker's cringe I made brass from .32 H&R in one single pass FL sizing. For me anyway it worked fantastic. No case loss, no trimming, no fuss. I guess they are not as strong as .327 formed brass but I was losing too many to crumpled shoulders. Mr. Taffin concurred as well, it was a special trick to not lose some number of cases forming. It took finesse to make FA spec cases from .327 Federal. I did shoot a Muntjac at HHC with it. I had no issues with my H&R brass .224-32FA work.
