[QUOTE="Joshuak12, post: 625679, member: 40350"] I have some experience with the .222. My grandpa bought his in the 60s and handloaded quite a bit for it over the years. I have shot mostly, but not exclusively, factory loads through it since he passed away 15 years ago. One thing grandpa tinkered with was 55 grain bullets. He wound up loving them. He didn't mind sacrificing that little bit of muzzle velocity for the better downrange performance, and his old rifle was extremely accurate shooting them. The rifle, by the way, is one that Marlin made for a few years in the late 50s and early 60s that has a bull barrel and Sako action. It's still a tack driver, a sweet handling rifle, and my personal favorite because of the connection to my granddad. Anyway, to the point of the question, Grandpa trusted the 55gr. bullets out to 500 yards. [/QUOTE]
