Stick' and Bean' point taken, why waste the Fieldcraft platform on the little BR case? I may have to shop around for a Montucky donor in the future. Being a "small caliber" varminter mostly, the hornet case is my favorite for your reference, a 22 BR has always intrigued me.
It's hard for me to sneeze at the lil 22 Hornet in R-P brass full of Lil gun, 40gr V max, at 3075 FPS with NO interupted view through the scope at the pin drop.

'fiable,

THE Hulk is a wrap. Took (2) shots,for load development and I'd actually load (6),so I fhuqked up.(grin) Will use 'em to zero and start come-ups.

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

I ordered another EGW 20 MoMo rail,because it were ready to roll,directly from them. Amazon wanted to fhuqk me on "PRIME" Shipping,so I went to the source and cut to the chase.

Hint..........................




'h,

It ain't as large as it appears. It's prolly bigger.(grin)

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

The mass ain't hurtin' this equation and I don't see it getting cold enough,to freeze THAT ball off.

Hint..................





'weasil,

I shoot a fair sized herd of K-Hornet's and have loved the chambering since the 77/22 Sporter's intro in same. I prefer '296 in front of the 32 'Max at 3400fps+ from my 20-inchers.

My Number One so chambered,was a piece of fhuqking schit. Hint.

Nice nab on the pair of 'Crafts................





'holton,

Stability is a function of gross RPM,rotational and lineal,in conjunction. RPM bears the greatest impetus,but velocity do matter.(grin) Hint.

I've multiple SALAMI 22-250's in both 7" and 8",set up expressly for 88's. 3000fps+ is a breeze and there's no fretting stability,at low tide. Hint.

Have multiple 22-250 AI's wearing like RPM and obviously no issues there. Hint.

I've multiple Speedmires wearing like RPM and obviously no issues there. Hint.

Also shoot 88's and love 'em,in several 224 Grendel Krunchentickers. Hint.

Patiently awaiting the score of some 90gr Beer Cans to see WTF,within The Herd.

These are THE Good Old Days.

Hint...................

Thanks Stick!! Hornets rule. I've got a 77/22 K as well. A few A bolt Micros to boot in standard hornet form and a..22 Mink in an A bolt Micro and a .19 Calhoon Hornet. Browning 1885 in 22 Hornet as well...that one pumps out 40gr Vmax at 3150 with extra barrel length. I Sold off the .17 Hornets as I find the .17 WSM to be more than adequate for .17 work.......

I'm excited about the fieldcrafts...........thanks for the inspiration!

By the way, those Kimber Limited 6.5's are SWEET, eh. I've already got a black bear and Mulie Buck with mine this season.

Take care up there and don't get too wet!!

Stick thanks for the info. Have you by chance burned any 16 behind an 88 in the salami version? My particular example like 16 behind 75 and 80s quite well

I'd LAUGH my ass off,if some DUMB Fhuqker tripped the best S/A on the Planet...for the worst. Few things funnier,than a L/A Ping Pong Ball Launcher and The Stretched Fieldcraft is just that. Hint. Congratulations?!?

'weasil,I'm a 17 Whizzum Slut too. LOVE my Franklin Krunchenticker and 77/22(chopped to 20"). Hint.

The Krassik Kreedmire is Sister's...I prolly have a different rifle to shoot.(grin)

Just got done banging around with 'Hulk and am soaked to my kchunt. Wind was blowing so fhuqking hard,that I just shot zero and walked away. It'll gimme time to load a buncha' stuff up for tomorrow and I can hopefully gun come-ups.

7man,

I got mine at Midway.

Hint....................





'holton,

Nope...pure '17.................

I bought the last 2 from Midway and the last one from Graf’s. Graf’s was cheaper. Don’t know where to tell you now. Lol.

Stick' everyone "Knows" them little Rugers don't shoot...should a bought a Savage Abomination wink

I've got a Fancy stocked 77/17WSM in 24" form. A 22" MGM Bull contender in fiddleback maple as well. Ordered the MGM the first day after holding the Salvage Abomination at a local store.....nearly puked on the counter. I laugh as those whom never beheld the 17 WSM say it's a 200 yard round and it only gains 50 yards over the HMR.......
Anyway, good stuff with Easy 350 yard kills every spring in a field full of squeaks, been there done that. My MGM has over 5,000 rounds through it. The Winchester 15gr Lead Free is the tits.....
Nice to see you enjoying the round, its king of RF for sure.....by a longshot!
Sweet rifles too....
I'm gonna pick up a laminate 18.5" Ruger 17WSM here soon......they are threading them from the factory now
