Thanks so much for your help.


Cheaper than Dirt and Sportsmans guide have ones designed to shoot .22 cal pellets with just the primer. but you can make one of those pretty easy. Just size the neck to be a snug fit for the pellet and seat the pellet where you want it and peen the side of the case with a center punch just below the bottom of the pellet to keep it from going into the case (one or two spots is enough). They are supposed to work slick and even cheaper than 22 ammo. Oh almost forgot they reamed the the primer pocket take a 209 primer.
