mranch.222 Rem Mag Imp. ?
Anyone shooting one? I'm thinking of having a .223 barrel rechambered to one and was just wondering if anyone can tell me about the cartridge? Bullet, Powder, Vel., Performance.
Thanks,
Bob

308SakoI have had the pleasure of playing with many of the Ackley Improved versions of several cartridges. While there is often a performance gain, it is normally lesser in cartridges which are already effiecent. The gain you would receive for the labor involved would most likely not be worth the trouble. The fun of loading however is always intensified. Which ever way you choose to go, enjoy the ride.

mranchThanks for all the responses!! I've read Mike Bellm's web page and have actually talked with Mike about it. I was hoping to here from someone who has loaded and shot the .222RMI. I'm finding it difficult to even find data on the improved load.
I'll keep looking!

groundhog devastationNever shot the Improved version but have been shooting the original vesion for a long time! Even shot a lot of the necked up version...6x47. If you want to know a little about the old original give me an email and I'll tell you what I know! GHD
