I have been looking around for something different in the .224 realm. 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
I've got both, reason I had the 22Br build I could get more
velocity using less powder than the 22-250 and it's a great varmit caliber. Since cases are formed from 6Br brass you might want to check as they have two chambers for the 22br
.22 BR Norma. - .246" Neck & .254" Neck *
.22 Rem BR - .246" Neck (Rem. Brass)
I got those chambers of Mike Bryant's site.
I equally like the 22ppc it's not going to have the range for varmit shooting like the 22Br but it's an accurate case. I still have afew 22ppc Sako cases and the only difference to me is one you have to fire form and more likely have to turn necks (220 Laupa) case vs just neck down.
Well good luck
