Anyone Shootin' a 22 Cooper Centerfire Magnum

I am looking for any additional load data other than what is available from Accurate Arms.

I am going to be working with bullets from 35 to 60 grains. I expect to be able to run subsonic loads with the 60's.

G'day Mike,
"Available data is kinda limited on this round."
Sure is an interesing little cartridge all the same .

From Memory Jack Rush who used to write for Precision shooter magazine had one.
Might be worth contacting www.precisionshooter.com

Also Todd Kindler at
www.smallcalibre.com
may be able to help with some info.
www.saubier.com would also be worth a try.

Take it easy.

G'day Mike,
When you get a cahnce to bust some caps with this little number I was wandering if would be possible to post your findings and load information.Especilally the brass life at working velocities.
I have always wanted one of these great little cartridges but the bad press on the brass quality really put me off.

Thanks ,
Regards,
Charlie.

Hi Charlie,

No problem. I am STILL waiting on a barrel, was hoping to start on this the end of this month but not sure its gonna happen that soon now...

The brass that i am using is made by Schroeder Bullets. He swages the body of a hornet case to size and then lathe turns the rim and head area. All the info i have on this round is listed on the following post 22 Cooper Centerfire Magnum - NEW PROJECT!! . I have been told that this brass will last a considerable time, unlike the original "turned" cases that lasted one or two firings.
