22 Nosler - just sayin'

Recommended Posts

Well,why not-"design was to produce the most powerful 22 cf that functions reliably in an AR platform".

 

First blush is it's like a necked 6.8,maybe (it isn't).

 

But it is very like the Winchester 224 E5 experimental cartridge (same military aim) from tthe 1960's.

 

Specs 22 Nosler 55g @ 3350 fps and 1370 ft lb

77g @ 2950 fps and 1488 ft lb

 

Lots US ammo 55g @3240 fps and 1280 ft lb

77g @2750 fps and 1259 ft lb

@2800 fps and 1341 ft lb

 

OK....but ...

 

Hornady Superformance 223 53gVmax @3465 fs and 1413 ft lb (Nosler 55g is a 'varmint' bullet too).

 

Hmmm?.....warm 22-250? mmmmm

As soon as the brass appears i will be having a reamer.

 

Perfect answer for someone who wants a bit more punch from a .223 bolt faced Donor.

 

It will be fun in an AR too.

 

I reckon the cases should feed from a 22-250 mag etc.
