[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 491938, member: 25383"] just a quick glance in the Hornaday maual shows the 45 grain .204 maxed out at 3600fps with a .245B/C. Yet the .223 Remington with a 50 grain bullet (.242B/C) will be about 100 fps slower. I should think an ackley chamber in .223 will give you everything the 22-.204 will do. But a 22BR will push the 53 grain bullet almost a hundred FPS faster (if not more). A .224BG should push a 70 grain bullet at about 3750fps without going into over pressure gary [/QUOTE]
