Going Back To Where I Started........... Kinda

[ButterBean]

Everyone knows I live on the borderline and I push everything including myself to the absolute, so after the 25 cals and the 30 cals with the Mule I'm gonna go back to where I started with the 22 calibers .
The 220 Swift and I have killed a many deer back in the day and everyone knows that light and fast is my MO so with that being said and after some discussion with my peers I'm off and running with an old wildcat that will with any luck and Hammer's will make a 500 yard lightning stick.
22X63 AI ( 22-06AI) is what's on the menu, Early {No Prefix } Rem700 action worked over with an M16 extractor , 27" Bartlein 7 twist 5R contour tube {Suppressed }

Trigger Tech 2 stage, McMillian Game Warden Carbon { Mag Fill ) toping it off with an Arken EP5.
As I am out of the machine shop I had Jay Cutright {Marshall Illinois} do this build, this is the second rig he has done for me and I will highly recommend him if anyone needs a smith
The quest is to push the 51g AH to 5K, I'm not sure but I think it should be a fairly flat round

Hope all is well with you and your family.
GREAT BUILD!!!!
if you are pushing the AH 51.gr @4,500 fps you will be getting close to 560 energy ft lbs @ 500 yds. and 700 ft lbs with 5,000 fps.
Bullet placement & enough energy to knock a deer down. Hope that the bullet would open up enough to transfer energy .
You have the experience so hope that you get some deer and show us the results.
Definitely a LASER.

Wow! Should be a laser.

Thank you for all of the information Brother and I mean no offense so please don't take what I'm saying the wrong way as I have have the tendency to sound like I butt when it's not my intention, with that being said I don't look at energy numbers, I concentrate solely on impact velocity but that's just me

 

[wasskeet]

Looking forward to your reports on this sizzler!

That thing could roll a deer or coyote before you ever feel the recoil. Vapor trail could be a smoke trail lol! Cool rig and idea ButterBean.

None taken
I kind of run numbers through my head, I like the math involved and gives me an opportunity to use different equations/calculations. Used to have to do that before Kestrel, Applied Ballistics came out.
You are defiantly going to have Impact Velocity!
Can't wait for your data with Chrono.
Thanks

[adam32+P]

4,580 fps is my estimate.

 

[Darryle]

That drill stem barrel would make Red Adair proud


BB, that is a beautiful build and in an old tried and true caliber. I have worked with just a couple of guys that have only owned one rifle from their youth until they retired and both were Swifts.

Can't wait to see the results.

Looks like a fun project - high speed 224s are always a blast to shoot.

 

[just_jon]

I fell 128 fps short in my quest for 5000 fps in my 22-250AI with 31HH.
I have not doubt you will get there.

 

[justinp61]

And I was expecting a 6.5 CM build!

In all seriousness, please keep us posted, it'll be interesting to see this monster develop.

Do we have a "22 Firecracker 5G" in the making ? LOL !
