[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 869561, member: 25383"] yes the heavier 22's will have a better ballistic coefficient. Everybody I knew that tried the .223 WSM was unhappy with accuracy and throat life. Plus cases are often hard to come by. Add to this the fact that it's really no faster than a .224 Jaybird, but uses more powder. The Jaybird is a round I really want to do. Has the desired .30" long neck with a 35 degree shoulder. But I think this round would be even better in 6mm. The advantage of the 6mm is that you can shoot bullets from 55 or 58 grains to 115 grains. Plus bullets like the 105 grain Amax have a B/C of .50, and the 115 grain from Berger is about .54. gary [/QUOTE]
