Sounds like the .22x6.8 is capable of driving a 50 grain bullet to 3650 to 3700 or so. The .22 Nosler is just a smidgon bigger, case capacity wise. Should be able to do the same.
A buddy and I are planning on buying a reamer and a set of gauges and sending them to the gunsmith.
A light varmint profile, 26 inch barrel would make a fine varmint rifle.
The gunsmith we use has a reamer to chamber the .22x6.8 in a version that does not need neck turned. He was excited that the .22 Nosler had factory brass available, with cheap dies.
An AR shooting 40 to 50 grain bullets at 3750 or higher seems like the ticket.
I guess I dont understand the problem.
So yeah, we are going to build a couple......soon as I gather all the Christmas money I have been saving.
I spoke with Nosler at the SCI Convention. They claim the 22 Nosler is not a 22 SPC. It uses SPC mags, but they claim it is a completely new case?
