loading you own rimfire

[Rocky Raab]

Here's a pointer: don't.

Assuming you could cobble up some dies and a shellholder, the biggest danger comes when you try to crimp the bullets in. The downward pressure of the crimping shoulder can crush the thin rim.

If that happens, you just might have a round go off right there in the seater die. And that would not be a fun way to cap (pun intended) your afternoon.
