I did stumble across a few hundred of the Hornady 100 round nose. Considering that this is not a long range rifle I thought they might make a good bullet for deer or pigs, not that we have any of either in my area, but I could see getting down to PWS for some blacktails.

I also have some 85 and 95 grain Nosler Partitions to try. I'm betting either would do well in this round.

My first trip to the range with it had me wondering, "where's the recoil." My last two wildcats, the 375 and 400 Whelen, are considerably more enthusiastic in that regard when you touch the bang switch.

I read Sam's write up on the 6mmx222. Seems it was pretty popular with his whole family. I'm liking this one so well I am tempted to build John Wooter's 25/222 Copperhead on my remaining action. Probably not too practical to have two so close together in performance but it would be an interesting comparison.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
