Anschutz 222 Ammo and Scope Considerations

[Smellydog]

I've been running 35gn and 40gn in my 222 for months.
How many dead fox photos and videos do you want?

Being pedantic about expensive horses is daft.
What's wrong with the 223?

You'll see no benefit changing from a 223 to a 222.
A 50grain vmax would be my choice.

No benefit in changing to an inherently more accurate calibre?
Ken.
Ps. You do know who’s reputed to use a Twipple, don’t you?

Good Lord we should form a gentlemen’s society…

None, only took the one picture before that I posted on here and haven't again, only take pics if land owner wants them for confirmation.
Got rid of 223 its sitting in rfd waiting on new owner.

No no sir, how many pictures of mine that have been shot with 35 and 40 GN bullets from a 222 would you like to see...


160 yards 40gn. N110 or IMR 8208, 222.

Haha sorry I woke up on the wrong side.
I shall gander through your YouTube videos during work.

222 is fast and flat with 40 GN bullets.

Don't worry about the horses, you just need to use some common.

Just need to pick up a moderator now nice 1740 in 222

Any recommendations on a moderator. £400 budget. Looking for something sleek not a big lump like a wildcat

I gave up on the 40gr vmax in .222, loads of runners whilst foxing. The 50gr vmax is a completely different kettle of fish, kills with much more authority.

You need an Anschutz 1432 in 22 Hornet.

35g V-Max don't exit!

In truth they are a lovely rifle to look at but if you want a Hornet that is guaranteed to shoot well I'd suggest you get a Brno/CZ. My 1432 is very fussy about both head space (at the rim) and bullet seating. The latter posing a problem that necessitates I single load.
