Thread: .222 turning back the clock

That's a cracker, the 222 is a good performer on deer, punches well above its size. I found the Sako ammo pretty good when we used it in the Forest Service.

We used to talk so much shite about .223 ammo. Arguing over what was best. Hertenberg or Sako And we thought our lives were sooo complicated. Sigh...

Red and black pkts, 50 grn. Imported. Anything imported was the bees knees. That and Sako were the 2 main brands around in te 60's. Maybe Hertenberg was less common. Used to get mine from a shop in Marton.

Edit. It was Hertennberger. Not Hertenberg. Made in Austria.

Nice work

I shot both SAKO and Hirtenberger (correct spelling) extensively during the 60's and 70's until I started reloading, still have a couple of packs of the SAKO ammo and a few packets of fired brass cases that I have saved.

We didn't use much Hirtenburg but what we did use was good stuff.

Seems to be the go

I remember that in the '70's we were issued with Sako, Winchester, Norma, Sellier & Bellot and some stuff in a plain white packet. The white packet stuff was hopeless and didn't last long.
