I have been playing around a little with some 22.250 loads. I use a charge of 33 grains of IMR 4064 or 4895 in my fast twist 22.250 with 68 thru 80 grain bullets...

I had some AA 4064 that I have had for a while, so I tried some of it since it is more user friendly for 22 caliber necks than is IMR's...

Well I have to say, with a variety of bullet weights from 50 to 55 grains, I am very pleasantly surprised... even with cheap bulk bullets, I am getting 100 meter groups out of my Ruger VT about half the size of a dime to the size of say a dime...

another side benefit, is that it is generating low enough pressure, that I don't even have to neck size it to reseat a new bullet, for several shots...

I haven't taken the time to chronograph it.. estimating the MV at about 3400 fps or so..

I also don't have the ability to show some target samples since I let Seafire JR take my camera to Philmont Boy Scout Camp down in New Mexico...he'll be back on the 9th of July..

I have kept some samples so I will post them then...I have had fun turning in some small 200 and 300 meter groups also...

A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him "Why do you carry a 45?" The Ranger responded, "Because they don't make a 46."

Duhboy....Nuttier than Squirrel Poop...
