    There is a sweet setup for it made by an outfit called Corbins

    You can "make" up to 6mm (.243) projectiles out of spent .22lr cases..

    Set up is a bit pricey, but man would that be the end all in reloading.

    This whole scheme began during WWII, when brass and bullets to the civilian market were unobtainable. They swaged the 22 cases to iron out the rim, then swaged the lead core into the "jacket".
