Jets are fun, but the huge hang up is the availability of ammo. Almost all of us reload, and the few who don't pay someone to do it for them. Shooting factory ammo is just too expensive.

I find it regularly at gun shows near me. If you don't have access to that kind of venue, you're out of luck.

Over the years I've accumulated a pretty impressive stockpile of the ammo. The trick is to always be looking and then be quick with your money. I prefer the .222 Hornady bullets, but they're not easy to find either.

A misconception from a poster above. Yes, you will be lubing your cases before resizing them. But then you'll need to wipe them down to remove all the lube before loading and shooting. If you don't, you'll experience case setback, which can easily lock up the gun. Trust me. I don't shoot full power/factory duplication loads. I load them down just a bit. Just as loud, just as accurate, but less wear on the hard to find brass.

DENTS IN THE CASES-AFTER RE-SIZEING ?

HELLO !
i tried to re-size some cases using 2 die set by RCBS
i checked the vent-hole in the die it was free
i lubed the cases with grafhite-grease lightly
but more then 50% of the cases got vertical-dents
i would like to have explenation how to avoid such dents
i think not to use those dented cases - am i right ?
thanks for your answers- good people,

.22 Jet Case Dents

O.G.-
The dents will iron out on firing. Try some spray-on Case Lube, such as the stuff Hornady sells. It looks like WD-40 on the case, but it isn't thick enough to make a dent. Might also take the decapper out and clean your die with Hoppes on a pistol brush with a patch wrapped around it to make sure it is clean and dry. Those small cases don't need a lot of lubricant.

light oil is better ?

hi
i used graphite grease now i under stand that light-oil like sawing-machin oil is better, is it better to lube every case or only once in 2 or 3 cases-i use regular dies not carbide ones.
are you sure that the dents will not cause cracks in shooting?

.22 Jet Case Dents

O.G.-
You really need to use the purpose-made sizing-die spray-on lubes only. Put the cases is a plastic pan and spray all over them, then roll them around in the residue. It isn't as thick as the stuff you are talking about. After sizing, either tumble the cases, or put them in a cotton towel and roll them around to remove the sizing lube. The Hornady Lube is like Lighter-Fluid, very thin. It works great. Thicker lubes cause the dents. I have had them in a few of my rifles occasionally, from using too much sizing lube paste. They always iron out. When fired, the case expands. You can't get Carbide dies for a bottleneck cartridge like the Jet, so you need to use real sizing lube.

Graf and sons have Prvi Brass. I use it. Also Stars and Stripes Custom Ammo out of Fl. has loaded ammo using 357 mag brass necked down. I have shot some of it and seems to be ok. Phone # 954- 917- 1129. That is off the box.

OG Do you have the inserts for the 22 jet? They allow you to shoot the less expensive .22 LR ammo and are also a lot of fun. If however, you are looking for the big bang, then obviously you need to either find some old Remington ammo or empty cases and reload them. I have purchased jet brass over the years and have several hundred empty cases. Gun shows are great around here for that but you may not have that option where you live. Good luck and keep us posted on your success. Photos of you and the jet at your shooting range would be interersting as well.

you cannot use bullets of 68gr. weight. just to heavy and won't stabilize in the rifling. use only bullets of 40 or 45 gr weight. the original ammo made by remington used a 40gr bullet that was .222 diameter. either use that diameter or .223. i would stay away from all .224 diameter bullets in this cartridge, although there are some who use the lighter weight ones and say they work.if you don't already have loading manuals,please get at least two and read them carefully and fully understand all the procedures before trying to reload this cartridge. as for your powder you asked about, it must be a european number. for faster loads try 2400 or 4227. for light loads, i use hs-6 at the starting load level.

hello friends !

My question to you is, where did you get W630? That powder hasn't been manufactured in a long time! (something like 35 years or so)

 

[steveno]

as with most of the Winchester powders in the time frame W630 was discontinued because it was very temperature sensitive. the other powders of the era were 230 , 295 & 680 for the same reason no longer made.

I have 11 boxes of Rem 22 "jet" and 70 loose rounds. I also have some brass. If there is any interest send me an email at [email protected].
