[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 427722, member: 10"] Geargrinder, I worked with my 224 Allen Magnum which was based on a 270 WSM necked down and fireformed to the Allen Magnum shoulder and body design. The problem was that we do not have any 22 cal bullets that were heavy enough to make this case capacity work well and those that were heavy enough (100 and 107 gr ULD RBBTs customs) could not survive the launch speeds over 3100 fps...... Unfortunately the 224 AM could easily drive these bullets to 3450 fps!!! Then the lighter bullets that would handle the RPMs did not have enough bullet weight to get efficent powder ignition. Until we get a 100-110 gr 22 cal bullet that will handle what the 224 AM can produce, it will be moth balled. [/QUOTE]
