Dave

Groundhog zapper?

Nope.
Doe getter .
Gonna put the zap on some deer 🦌 and see how it works out.
Parker Ackley said the 220 Swift with the proper bullet.
Was the best one shot deer killer of all time.
Just have to try it myself.
I didn't have alot of interest in using the Swift case
Looked around and came up with this one.
A 22 CHeetah with a 30 degree shoulder if you will.
Got some 55g TTSXs .
Time will tell.

dave

Mounted the Sightron for test.
Need to make a decision on a scope.
Case prep
Load development.
I've got work to do.

dave

I think you might have a lightning bolt on your hands.

Yep that’ll leave a mark! I/we used the 62 tsx in 22-250AI a couple of years. My wife shot more than I did but she never had a deer take a step. She tends to aim more into the shoulder than I do.

The only reason we switched was the 75 Amax has worked great too and I stopped switching loads for deer and used the amax year around.

Evnin, a bud uses one in a R.E.M. Pump (not my choice) it simply electrocutes coyotes, no spinning, no flopping around just DRT. Have fun with it!!! GWP. 🐾👣🐾👣🇨🇦

Was the 62g TTSX exiting on those shoulder shots?
Dave

Yes sir. Every time.

Dave I look forward to how that Hawk Hill barrel shoots once you get load development done. Also report on how it cleans up?

Looks like a fun project.

Seems a good fit for the 70 grain Accubond.

Different gun but my Beanland built 22-250 with a hawk hill 2 is a hammer and cleans like a dream

That looks like a fun project.

Should push a 55gr to 3900ish, no?

I think thats a realistic estimate.
Won't know for sure untill I get some ladders shot and see where the pressure is.
dave

They'll push 52 grainers 5000 fps.

All with so very little recoil. Dude? That’s gonna be a blast to play with.

I can’t wait to see this sucker rip!

The 62 TTSX was a demon in my old 1-8 22-250 Tikka. Definitely way bigger killer than most would suspect. I don’t have the nuts to do it but I’d suspect it’d whip an elk too.

I think I’ll just take Dober at his word though

Well hell, i was wrong, you may have no interest in Warp 50 speed, but, called my old Bud, he said 30gr Bergers went 5300 fps over 51gr RL-15 in 26"s of barrel, he just wanted to see how fast he could go, also said 52gr Amax's will run 4650 with RL-15, says you "may" find a beak left if you hit a crow this side of 200 yards LOL!
