If one of the following things ever happen, you\u2019ll be really glad you read the following article:<\/p>\n

Zombies escape their TV and movie confines and start munching on what few and far between brains there still are in the real world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Simultaneous fires in the iPhone and xBox factories plunge humanity into global rioting.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton team up to create the weirdest presidential ticket ever, and rumors of an all-Kardashian cabinet send civilization as we know it over the precipice.<\/p>\n

Hey, statistically, one of these things is bound to happen. It\u2019s only a matter of time, and when it does, I\u2019m thinking .22LR ammo will be the new basis currency, not to mention the primary means of squirrel shopping.<\/p>\n

Technically, I know you can, but it\u2019s always been one of those things that just seemed like a whole lot of trouble. Unlike centerfire ammunition like 9mm, .45 ACP and .308, there is no removable primer that you can simply replace. That\u2019s important as it\u2019s the primer that converts the kinetic energy of the firing pin strike into a small explosion that ignites the powder charge. Rather, .22LR cartridge cases have a narrow little gap in the inside of the case rim. Manufacturers magically squeeze a little bit of priming compound into this tiny space so that when a .22 gun strikes the very edge of the case rim, the priming compound explodes and ignites the powder charge. After the shot, the priming compound is all burned up, and there\u2019s a dent in the cartridge case from the firing pin strike.<\/p>\n

AMG 22LR Reloader<\/strong><\/p>\n

I recently got my hands on a little kit from AMG (22Reloader.com<\/a>) or ( amgsporting.com\/22lr-reloader\/ ) that gives you the tools, and more importantly, instructions<\/em> <\/strong>you need to reload .22LR ammunition. The basic kit includes a few simple tools that will help you turn those spent cases back into functional ammo. A pliers-like tool serves dual duty as a bullet mold and crimping tool to make sure your new bullet stays in place once reloaded. A small wire tamper and scraper helps you remove old priming compound residue from the spent case and pack new material in there. An eyedropper and funnel help you liquify the replacement priming compound so it can work its way into the case rim and charge the cases with powder. The company offers extra kits and accessories like priming compound ingredients and a resizing die that fits a standard reloading press. We\u2019ll get more into that in a minute.<\/p>\n
