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.

Have Hugh Bradley finishing my .22-243 currently 24" with 1:8 twist, I'm heading away but it'll be sitting at home ready for my return, can't wait to use it
My main projectile will be a RWS 74g Cone point for hunting, should be a ripper. Might see what bigger pills I can get down it at some stage.

I have had a 1-7 22-243 for years, man it can shoot the 90 Berger's, so accurate way out there.

Best is a couple of bunnies at 900 yards which was an extremely lucky twofer

You guys need to hush your mouths!!

I'm saving for a new .223 barrel in 1-8 or 1-7 twist so I can send it to get 22 Terminated!!
