Guys
Does anyone have the standard 22 caliber PB sizer set up from NOE, not the air gun sizer setup.
If so, can you accurately measure the 22 cal push rod diameter for size, and provide that information..
I am working on a head bump sizer solution, for increasing pellet head size a couple of thousands etc, for testing.
The air gun push rod sizer is .2127" and is just a little bit too small in diameter to work, in the .217 - .218 sizer dies.
I may end up turning a slightly larger sizer to work etc.

I don't have an NOE .22 PB pushrod.... The airgun one I have is 0.212" and I have a Lee .22 cal which is 0.2145".... measurements with digital calibers to 0.0005"....
PM Al at NOE and ask him to measure the standard .22 cal pushrods.... part number 22PR....

Thanks Bob
I haven't received a reply back yet, from AL on those diameters of the standard 22 cal push rods.
PS, I just ordered the 22 hunter mold from NOE,
they are listed for sell now,
and I'll post that info to our site.

Guys,
I just received my new Hunter 22 cal pellet mold, less than a hour ago,
also got a couple of the standard 22 cal push rods for my project I am working on.
These 22 cal push rods measure in at .2207", just for the information base.

so the size of .0001 being about 1/16 the size of these . . . on my small 1280x768 monitor.. ;)

Thanks Kirby
I needed that laugh,
I don't know the size of those dots, barely can see them, even with my cheaters on,
It is between the .220 and .221" size, but closer to .221 side........LOL
How's that for an explanation? and for reference an average sheet of paper is right at .004" thick...... ;D
Tia,

used to matchbook cover for quick n dirty setting point gap... bout .036 .. ;) but had to split it to get ~.015 the SL 350 needed... was early 83 in Yerington first time remember knowing an approximate size being that usefull...good place for jacks back then...wonder if they still grow alfalfa in that area..?
First time I landed on my head that I remember was at the Fernley Rodeo grounds as a wee one in the mid late 60's... I still hate mules... Dad got thrown also... made it easier to forgive him for making me ride the jackass...was Dads last ride before going to work skinning a D9... then on as an O.E. and Cranes...He had been raised on a Dakota ranch and learned to ride watching Casey Tibbs...
so whats the point..? hmmm...uhhh... It's dads fault I can not remember when or where I learned that bit about the matchbook.. ;) Hope you are having a good New Years eve...
Just figured out why I used to love hunting winter white tail jacks... It's those ears I saw right before landing on me head.. ???

Yep, learned the same trick for my 47 Studbraker PU, 4 on the floor, and a blazing fast top speed of 50 mph max and would climb like an ant. ;D LoL
Fernley is now a back door to Reno, Yerington/Fallon still have lots of Alfalfa there, also Lovelock produces lots of seed Alfalfa,
and Blue Billion of the Leaf Cutter bee's, you learn real QUICK to put tape over the bbl's end, or you get to visit me for repairs. LOL
We call those Whitetailed Jacks "Turbo Bunnies", they launch at Mach 5 from the first jump,
2-3X the size of a normal Blacktailed Jack rabbit, and make's a BT jack look like a slug when they run. :o
When we were hunting Elk in Elko this year, the G-son is in the Trap shooting club, with blazing fast reaction times etc,
we find them is in the flat Silver Sage flats, nothing taller than 3-4" with a big/tall clump of reg sage brush in the center,
with the tracks in the snow, all wagon wheeling towards the tall clump, indicating Home Base.
We would surround the Home Base, leaving only 1 escape route, put the G-son on that route,
and then the son and I would close the circle up, the "Turbo Bunny" blasted off and the G-son got 3 shots and missed every one, he stood there with "The deer in the headlights look and his mouth hanging open".
He couldn't believe he missed 3 shots, tried several times thru the days and he never got a "Turbo Bunny",
but has sworn Vengeance against them now, he is on attempt #20+ so far and still lacking a "Turbo Bunny"" ....LOL.
Lots of good shooting, but "NO Turbo Bunny's", until G-pa show'd him how to do it, 75-80 yd shot,
with a S/W M-53, scoped 22 Jet, 8-3/8" bbl, 40 gr @2200+ fps, head shot, 1S1K, dirt napped right there,
I love scoped handguns. ;)
2018 ended in a bummer, can't tell about 2019 yet, LOL.
Thanks,
Don

well I hunted them two ways one was to sit about 20-40 yards from home base before dusk downwind... and the other was walking up irrigation ditches towards dusk... I scored about 10-20 over about five years with an 18 fpe Benji .22... head shots with a wide aperture peep...Talk about challenging and having to be very quiet... but yep would scout spots during the day and if you got it right you had one shot till ya tried again the next day... if the snow was crunchy ya found home early in the day and then about 45 min before dusk spent quiet time waiting to see if anyone was home... Did a body shot once from about 40 yards... he made it about 1/4 of a mile... think they are tougher than the rest of the rabbits/hares...
the reason I did it that way was so I could hunt near the alfalfa fields... I feel they taste much better when you get them there jmo... my 22 mag Contender carbine I used in the more lonely brush flats and foothills... Many times would go home empty handed but even then I enjoyed just being out...
Had an acquaintance that had one of those Remmy/S&W pistols... Who in the heck thought of it.. :o ... lets see we will take a 357 Mag case and neck it down for a 40g .22 pistol... just what :o :o :o...
Do you have the .22 WMR insert..?
Where I live now is also supposed to be white tail jack territory but have only seen a few over the years... they seem to be on a decline up here... back in the 1960s-1980s they seemed plentiful...
As far as Fast... well can remember once doing about 40 mph in a friends truck and the dang thing was in front of us and pulling away before angling off...

Kirby
ROTFLMAO,
Been then, done that one once, Black ice, sharp inside corner at about 20-25 mph,
my poor Old Studbraker, OUCH, LOL now.
I had the SS, 22 LR inserts, with 2 inserts modded to 22 RF mag case, us 3 wildcatters in N Ca, each had one,
mine was a standard 22 Jet, Brooks was a modified Super Jet, 256 WM case necked down to 22 cal,
and Bob's was Cotterman's Super Jet, the ear noise was unreal, it hurts, reason I am 80% deaf in both ears. :o,
Thanks for the memories............
