I done the exact same thing with a .222 and it only runs about 450fps. very accurate at 10yds, and lots of fun! I shoot it in the shop all the time.

I posted it for those that had trouble finding the tools to make there own. I tried to make some but could not get them drilled right.
still undecided if I want to pay that much.
Very old concept ... from memory ... it works better if you tube the 223case to cut down its volume.
Cheers...

Did you ever try it with a couple of tenths of a grain of 231,Red Dot or similar powder to get them up to maybe 800-900 fps ?

How do you seat the primers and the pellet?

Slim, I never got around to trying any powder in it and I have pulled my 222 barrel off.
uj, the primers are a slip fit, you can seat them with your thumb. I put the pellets in from the rear, using the punch in the pic. Before I put the primer in.
