I agree about the comment that the OP will get 3/8" - EASILY. I use H335 and H4895 the most and 80 and 58 gr bullets, have lots of 70 and 87 gr Hornady just haven't shot many 2830 fps H335 80gr rem 2890 fps H4895 80gr rem 3080 fps H335 58gr Hornady Vmax 3065 fps H4895 58gr Hornady Vmax

A custom .222 is on my bucket list. Keep the .222 alive boys!

I'd have to put something parallax adjustable on it if it were mine, even with modest magnification. Something like a Leupold M8 8x40AO.

Nicely done. I like my 222’s and all have been really easy to load for. I’ve reached the point that the first powder I try is H-322 with 40 gr B/tips, Blitzkings or tipped Varmageddons.

Flyer that's good speeds in the 80s, had a Mohawk in 243, shot 80 PSPs around those speeds, dumped a coyote running wide ope left to right to me, about 250 yds. Deadly and in the 6x45, very mild.
