Im surprised Ruger never made a limited run of #1s in 225 WIN

260remguy...............Howdy ............If you find that 225 brass shoot me a PM ........I'll take them off your hands .........Thanks and have a great day

I thought winchester brought out the 225 after they dropped the 220 swift and remington brought out the 22-250. they should have just brought the swiff back. I rechambered a 223 contender barrel for the 225 in the 80s because the 223 brass was a pita to remove from the chamber with a scope on the barrel. It shot very well and I used it for groundhogs. I think my longest kill was around 250 yds which was my limitation not the guns lol.

I picked up a 340 in .225 a few years ago, tried to get it to shoot on some factory ammo that I found with no luck. It had a factory Savage scope on that I couldn’t get to adjust enough to hit paper. I bought a weaver K4 and put on it but haven’t messed with it. I’ve have a few .220 swifts and a couple 22-250s so I thought this would be an interesting cartridge to mess around with. I’m finally getting my reloading bench setup again so I plan to work up a load and see if will shoot. I did find a 340 in .22 hornet that shoots great. There is something about odd ball or less popular cartridgages that enjoy. It’s probably what attracted me to the 99s, well that and my grandfather collected them 😁
