Thread: Anyone played with 223AI?

Greetings All,
After writing my earlier post I started thinking about what hot shot .22 cartridge is about these days? A friend was waving a 6.5 Grendel in front of me yesterday and I wondered if something similar was available in .22. Turns out Hornady had beaten me to it with the .22 ARC based on the Grendel case. Fast twist for heavy projectiles. Yes I know @Micky Duck just like the .22 Savage High-power from over 100 years back. A 30 degree shoulder rather than 40 degrees for the AI and extra pointy projectiles complete the picture. Fits in a short action. I need to sit somewhere quiet for a bit.
Regards Grandpamac.
PS. It does look a bit like the Donaldson Wasp.

I got a 22 Grendel reamer made late 2014 so you are right nothing much new, built AR uppers etc & have a Howa Mini with it currently
