Got a couple 222 rifles, A buddy got some Berger 35 grain bullets, they shot very well for him, so I tried them in the 222s and 218 Bee rifles I have and they shoot well in them with 4227 and 4198. Hornady now makes 35s also. One advantage of the 35 grain is they blow up on a soda can full of water, put fragment holes in the off side. So in a confined space or around livestock it gives you a bullet that detonates on impact and does not fly off into the next county, if you need such performance.


“To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is best to plan for all eventualities then believe in success, and only cross the failure bridge if you come to it."
