5.7 Johnson/ 22 Spitfire Dies

[bassin_rob]

Inherited a gun I believe to be a 5.7 Johnson/ 22 spitfire. No markings on it. The ammo passed down with the gun just has 22 carbine hand written on a note card. All my dad knows is it’s an old 30 carbine necked down to an 22. Anyone have much experience with this cartridge? Also looking for a set of dies if anyone has some used ones laying around.

Weird coincidence, I was just reading about the 22 spitfire today. Hope you can find the supplies, sounded pretty interesting.

Thanks man, found a set of dies on midway. But they are a hit steep for what the gun is. So hoping I can find a used set a little more reasonable.
