Anyone have any experience with this round.I found a really neat little Schonauer(sp?) custom rifle chambered for this.The rifle is in really nice shape,and I'd like to leave it alone(caliber wise) unless the round is just to much of a pain to fool with.

Hornady still makes a .227 caliber bullet for use in .228 caliber rifles, so bullets shouldn't be too hard to find. Choice is nil, just a 70-gr SP, though.

Ross Seyfried (sp?) did an article a while back, I believe in rifle magazine on three Ackley rifles, and one of them was a 228. A search on their site, or someone with a better memory then me would probably help. - Dan

I think Don Lewis also wrote about that cartridge once or twice as well.

We have a few of the guys that shoot them around here. Thet all use .22 savage Hi power bullet. I never have heard any complaints except the odd diameter.
