[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 839479, member: 25383"] your talking apples and oranges! The 22/57mm case is really nothing but a .224/ 6mm Remington case. The 22/06 is a completely different animal as the case length is about 64mm long. Both are grossly overbore, and in the end will give you a short barrel life. There's also the .224 Vias, and that's pretty much nothing but a 6.5x55 improved necked down to .224. The shoulder is also pushed back a couple millimeters. Seems to work best with 70 grain and bigger bullets. Still somewhat hard on a barrel, but still not as bad as the others would be. You might also want to check out the .220 Jaybird. It's a full two inch long case that is improved with a .30" long neck. Once again best with 75 grain and heavier bullets. Kind of like a 22-250 AI on steroids! gary [/QUOTE]
