The future is bright for fast twist 22cf.

[Sakoodin1]

Why don't you try some Barnes TTSX 100gr in your 260 Ackley? Goes nicely in my 260 Rem.

Yes that would be an option for sure,? It’s my spring sitting out rifle? Not for carrying far as it weighs a tonne and the 7-35 atacr doesn’t help that fact, I actually thought about a prc and using the 127 lrx’s?

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.

Is this in Scotland as England must be above 240 for small deer?

Have a think about how many folk will decide they now really need a 22cf....

Pretty sure munties and Chinese are fine with 22cf

Ah ok, overlooked that, thought it was all small deer! Thank you!

22x47L
I'll just leave it here...

In keeping with the theme, I have an action with a PPC bolt face waiting in the wings for either 22arc/6arc or to open up slightly and go 22-250/22x47L 6br/6xc/6creed

I enquired with one 'smith as regards a 22GT reamer, but alas no. Given the prevalence of the 22 Creedmoor, my existing tooling etc, I'll likely go with that.
Was chatting with a pal who used a 22XC in SA for culling work, his only complaint making brass was a PItA, but otherwise loved it dearly, and talked of killing shots on stuff most of us would balk at, and he isn't a BS'r.

I would even suggest a 220 Russian, given the brass available and run it in a tight twist barrel.
Amazing lapua brass, almost indestructible

What is a 22GT?

 

[Malxwal]

What is a 22GT?

The "22 GT" refers to a .22 caliber rifle cartridge, designed by George Gardner of GA Precision and Tom Jacobs of Vapor Trail Bullets. It's essentially a 6mm GT cartridge necked down to .224 caliber, using a .308 Winchester case rim. This cartridge is known for its ability to achieve high velocities with 80-90 grain bullets, often exceeding 3300 fps.

Not sure I follow that given .22-250 brass was an easy source of 6XC brass.

I suppose it depends on each individuals attitude to brass prep ?
I consider neck turning a PItA, but I'm informed if I wish to neck down Lapua 6 Creedmoor brass, it'll be required, not only to avoid donut formation, but for safety and full release in a standard .256" chamber neck.

So, with all you Scots running down the route of a fast twist .22 for large deer how long until they ban all lead?
