[Big Grin] Sorry guys! [Smile] I had to do this. I just wanted to see what sort of THRILL Axel gets from starting bullshit threads like this everyday.

[Frown] Guess I still don't understand. It just makes me feel stupid.

But whatever turns this fool on~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks, Axel. I've taken the plunge and ordered one from AHR.

Do you have any good loading data for this cartridge?

Pecos:
CZ 452 in 22 for about 200 bucks drives tacks, and EVERYONE should have and shoot a 22 lr, for practice, to keep from flinching with Big Bores.

22 is a wonderful cartridge.

Pecos, anytime. Just happy that I could return the favor to you. Afterall, you have provided an immense amount of information on the 55 Boyes rifle to me.

I hope AHR builds you a nice 22 short. Do you know if AHR is utilizing a CZ550 action for your rifle?

416SW,
Have 22 shorts in box, have dial calipers, made measurements. Box is CCI, it has the bullet weight, type and muzzle velocity printed on it.

Smallfry,

Have you ever considered a CZ in .22 Hornet? Since I don't own either, I've oft thought that a .22 Hornet would be an excellent choice for magazine or double rifle.
