Made up a dummy round with a 80 grain Berger seated to where I wanted it, and sent it off the JGS to grind the reamer.
Came out perfect, with a loaded round at 2.550" OAL seated in the lands:

I'm convinced - have been for a while - that Al has TOO much time AND money on his hands. I need to figure how to become one of his beneficiaries beneficiary.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Can you take a shot of your 22x47 side by side with a few other similar cartridges, e.g. 22-250, 22-250 AI, 222 Mag, 223. I don't know if you've got any of these loaded with heavies for fast twists, but I'd be cool to see.

And to squelch the peanut gallery ......this was not a new build.....ha ha.....
I took a 6x47 Lapua barrel off this rig to scratch a lingering 22 itch.
It does that in spades........

That 22 should really scoot. That it do......(wink) Should fall right betwixed the 22-250 and 22-50 AI? That's what my research showed. Results seem to favor the AI side. What are you going to do for an encore? *grins* I'm done.........again.......

Next a 7x47 Lapua.. Should make fine hunting cartridge!!
Its a shame the 6.5 Laupa did not gain more ground, instead the copycat Creedmore got all the advertisement money.

Just curious as to the velocities with 80-grainers?

That 80 grain .224" Berger is a great killing bullet too...
