[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 1539782, member: 106883"] Can'tshoot- Howdy ! My wildcat " .22-35 Remington " is right in the zone you are discussing. .22-35 was designed to give me ideal case capacity for shooting 55gr varmint bullets from a 24" 1-14 barrel. My intended use was shooting " Soybeanus Digestus ". .22-35 Remington has case capacity is between that of the stock .22-250, and the .22-250AI. I shot .22-35 Remington in a Wichita WBR1375 action. It operated just fine using the stock .308 bolt face, and an M-16 style extractor. .22-35 would give you useful case capacity rivaling the Swift, in a rimless format. Case oal is 1.920"..... same as the 'Creed, which is pre-dates by a few decades. I used my .22-35 to get into the " 500yd club ", on a 510yd groundhog kill. When chambered in a 28" 1-8 SS .224" cal barrel, .22-35 Remington gave me a dual-role' varmint/target rifle, with 1,000yd capability. I chose an easy-to-form 26* shoulder angle for .22-35 Remington, which was my first wildcat design. This was same as that used on 6mm Remington, which had a similar shoulder diameter. Use of .35 Remington as the parent case, gave me the case capacity I desired, w/o having to " blow-out " case' shoulders; or go "Ackley-fied" . In the 24" 1-14 my favorite field load was 55SX over 41.2gr WW760 and FED Large Magnum Rifle Match primer. This was not the max charge/load, but was hyper-accurate; and deadly. In the 28" 1-8, I shot 75"A"-Max over 40.5gr AA3100 and FED LR Match which gave me 3,420fps; or 3,500fps honest if substituting oprimer to the Large Magnum Rifle Match. The latter load showed a modest opening-up in grouping. I continued using the regular FED LR Match, and enjoyed both stellar accuracy; and great terminal performance. [/QUOTE]
