I'll put the gauge on some tonight.

Length to Ogive is 55.88mm or 2.200" for both the 53gr V-Max and the 60gr partition. These are about 0.02-0.025" of the lands.



If I had (or could get a tighter twist at a low price) I would be pushing the 68-70gr projectiles and reaming the lands a little more too!

Sorry mate, you wanted OAL:
60gr Partition 2.530"
53Gr V-max 2.630"

That'd pretty nice speed for the 60's, how does it shoot?

Of course dies, spacer and about 150 formed cases (some loaded with Partitions and V-Max's)

Did you end up selling this off, or still running it?
Only just found this thread via an Australian forum.

could have just waited for the new Nosler 22 to come out!

If anyone is interested in purchasing this rifle, let me know. Otherwise, I'll turn it back to a 223Rem and sell it off.
