This is NSA, they recently changed the lead wire sales. Exactly same as they were selling directly form the NSA site.

They do offer a .210 for .22, but can live with .200 that NSA offers. If they lowered their prices, I would give it a spin.

I’m willing to bet that there is no difference if you compare enough measurements over enough spools of wire.

I m just getting into swaging but I think that would be a safe bet. Unless you are maxing out weight n it’s getting to long to get in the die comfortably. Otherwise I’d have to agree

.210 or .200 work well just make sure its pure lead .

I've gone through 1-1/2 40lb spools from NSA, no complaints
