    Just curious how would that compare to the Weatherby .224 magnum? I'm thinking of getting a fast twist barrel for mine.

    No idea sorry.. never owned one or seen one. Personally Id rechamber it into a more modern cartridge with quality brass available.

    @nor-west I found some ADI load data for that cartridge with 70gr projectiles listed as a max charge of 32gr of 2209 giving 2777fps from a 23" barrel.
    That doesnt seem very hot/fast? My 24" .223 shoots the 69gr pills to 3200fps with 26gr of 2206H.
