The future is bright for fast twist 22cf.

[Malxwal]

Interpreting the lead sham, it occurs to me that the future is very bright for 22 centre fire. The implications of this I doubt are lost on folk.
Apologies if I'm rehashing already done to death stuff.

Yup I've a 1:7 twist 223 that I'm hoping will see more action once I've had the barrel re-profiled for stalking duties.

Fast twist 22-250 would be something to consider?

Might help me sell my 223 lol. Shame 223 isn't ok for Roe in England as the cherry on top

That is a shame as it's brilliant for Roe

The .224 Clark was a 7x57 necked to .224 and used with 80 Grain bullets and a fast twist. He was laughed into obscurity back in the early 60s when suggested hunting with it.
Few things are new in the shooting world -Muir

It is mate, them 55 ttsx just sack roe out to 300 yards no problem

I've used the 50gr ttsx before in my old 223. Not at good as distance due to it being flat based, but killed Roe very well

22-284 anyone ?

22-284 anyone ?

Now that’s a re-barrel I have thought of!!! I dread to think what the barrel life would be ? But I bet it would be fast and flat

It'll have been done across the pond. I'll hazard a guess at 600 tops...

so wondered about necking a 7 mm rem mag to 6.5

Sounds a bit like 220 Swift....?

And yes I know not the same case - just similar

7-300prc...it's a thing.

Wow, that spiralled into fantasy land quick .
But how many of us are now looking at acquiring a 22cf ? I recently sold my 7 twist 223 as I just wasn't using it

I like using my 223 for practice (cheapish) and also love it on Roe.
