This one was with a 68 Hammer HHT around 200 with Hammers suggested starting load.

Same hold as with the 88's I have not developed a load with that bullet yet just had 1 in my pocket.

Nice!


Been thinking about a 22 Creedmoore.

Looks like a long enough barrel on that rifle. Is it pronounced by a short forearm? Or is it deceptive by the camera angle?
Take care,
Rick

Rick the barre is 22". The stock is an MPI Lightweight with a very short forend. The angle the photo was taken makes it look longer than it actually is.

Cottontails at just over 300 yds with a 22-6MM AI at over 4300 FPS.

Changed my barrel on my XP-100R this AM from 260AI to 22BR in preparation to head east for pasture poodle popping. My load is Hornady 52 grain AMAX. Yes, it’s a match bullet but them dogs never had a complaint about not being dead enuf! MTG

Opposite end of the spectrum. My 222 Remington shooting Nosler 35 gr BTLF at about 250 yards. MV is 3700 fps. Accurate as hell too.

I enjoy the heck out of this gun. Sporter weight rifle and low recoil so you can spot your own shots & see the aerobatics!

Probably the only time I'll shoot a bullet that costs about 10 times what my usual .224 Prairie dog bullet costs but I had 1 so had to give it a try. But I have shot 40 rounds of 300 Winchester ammo at prairie dogs on a way too fast antelope hunt because I didn't like the 4 hour drive for one shot at 7 A.M.
