    If 3300 and 52 grn, 3200 and 55 grain or 2950 with a 80 grn isn't good enough for .224 applications I don't know what is. Thats what I get from my standard .223 Tikka. My 20" .223 is right on its heels. BM2 and 2206H do it no trouble.

    Im sure somewhere in the past the same words were spoken about the 222 rem and before that and before that. But the never ending search for a better mouse trap and a faster bullet goes on.

    You are correct. And Ive been sucked into the vortex often enough. I recently contacted Jaco to ask if he was getting a 22ARC reamer. What was I thinking . I must get better at taking my own advice.

    Ignore the advice and keep talking to Jaco. With out the yearning for better we would still be running around with stones and pointed sticks.
