Thread: New 223

I run out of cardboard and real estate signs aren't up long enough to borrow in Canterbury these days. Cabinet makers must make alot of stuff ups, there are always plenty of large bit in the wood pile outside their shops.

With the 2206H I run out of room to seat a bullet at 33gr. I did fire one round with 32gr last night...................... it didn't go well for the case. Speed was around 3650, but the case could be mistaken for a belted round, maybe a mini 7mm Rem Mag. It hit the target well, but I certainly didn't want to fire another one! the 31gr good ok(ish).

Still could do some work with powders and various loads, and will over the next little while, but I really want to get out and shot it at the moment.

Another pro over a 22-250 is I can fit 6 rounds in the mag and one up it. The feeding issue is resolved and is now flawless.

I guess a 22-250 could run faster, but I've never loaded for one, so only know what the loading manuals states.
