[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 839538, member: 22069"] RCBS and Redding both make dies for the 22-284, which would have a very similar case capacity to a 22-06. I don't have any experience with the cartridge. I can only confirm its existence. The x57 you keep referring to is a Mauser case, not a 30-06. The 30-06 has more capacity. I do think 22x57AI would be interesting. I would expect it to be somewhere between 22-243 and 22-284 in case capacity and performance. In any of those, I would expect heavy for caliber bullets and ultra slow powders to be the way to go. I am thinking Quickload would be a useful tool to get a ballpark idea of what to expect from rounds like these. [/QUOTE]
