"... Recently, I ran across a nice unfired Savage custom chambered in 22BR.
I would like to hear from members that have any experience with this chambering and hear your opinions on it. Has anybody used this for varmints? Also, information on case forming would be appreciated.
I am also looking seriously a the 22PPC. I see that both these cartriges are similar in ballistics to the 22-250 but accuracy potential is greater in a proper stick.
Thank you in advance for your comments!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
The 22BR and 22 PPC are not equal to the 22-250.
They are about halfway between the 223 and the 22-250.
As to accuracy... in equal rifles with equal "everything" the 22BR and PPC will edge out the 22-250 at a benchrest match, but if you are looking for a Benchrest rifle, don't waste your time with either, and go to the 6mm versions.
If you are looking for an accurate field rifle, the 22BR Savage is an excellent rifle, and barrel life will be much better than a 22-250.
