Thread: BAD THOUGHT

I have the 22 Terminator, 22 Grendel & 22-243 AI reamers & access to 22-243.

I had been considering getting the 22 Creedmoor reamer, I read about it years ago, it would go nicely with my 6 & 6.5 CM reamers.

The 22 Grendel goes extremely well & is exceptionally accurate, but feeding the small case can be an issue with conventional platforms, its incredible in the AR15.

The most under rated & easiest is the 22 Terminator, perfect in a Tikka 223 donor rifle.

Cheers @Kiwigreg, thank you for “chip” in...
Why I brought it up is simple, with the “big thing” over the Valkyrie on the AR15 platform I can’t see the “benefit” of that cartridge on a bolt action rifle and the same line(weight) of projectiles can be pushed easily even a bit faster from the bolt action and a little larger case. I read on the li I I share the pros and Cons of the different cartridges in the same or similar class, pretty much included these cartridges you mention kiwi Greg.
The intention I mention/created this thread is also looking exclusively on TARGET SHOOTING something g to somehow compete with the “big boys” from long range In a “small Bullets” also can win match’s kind of things. If the Valkyrie. An be supersonic up to 1300yards for how further it would be at a bit more velocity (3100ft/s)?

Cheers.

My 6 Terminator, basically a cross between a 6PPC & a 6 Grendel improved would be interesting necked down to 22 in a bolt action.

In a bolt action it can be loaded harder than the same case in an AR.

I prefer my 22 Grendel over my 22 Nosler AR upper,

The Nosler is easier with its 223 bolt head & factory brass but its really to long for the heavies.
