What 22cal would you build?

[DUCKMAN11]

What 224 caliber would yall put together and why? What would the "build sheet" look like?

This rifle will be used to fling +70gr bullets into hogs and coyotes out to about 800yds. Coyotes will not be used for fur.

I have 1 223rem tikka and I really like it but it's pretty bland. Im thinking about building/putting together something a little faster in velocity and with a faster twist barrel for the higher BC bullets. I'm also tired of feeding retumbo and RL26 and magnum primers into my magnums just to kill hogs.

My father has a 220 swift.
Hunting partner has a 22-250
I had a 223ai but sold everything for it. I'm just looking for something more than a 223 and that doesn't need 70gr of powder.

I'm basically starting from scratch and looking for ideas.

8 twist 22/250 AI is what I went with one could do a 22 CM as well. Either would do you well

22cm would be pretty easy. I was also thinking about 22x47lap. I'd really like to stay away from fire forming but I'm not afraid of it either.

What speeds and seeds are you running in the 22-250ai?

22 Creed...22-243...22-284...take your pick.

22-284....... what's the barrel life on something like that? 500 rounds?

I'm putting one together now, 7 twist 5R 22X63 AI, Planning on using the 51 AH

22 creed. Boringly accurate 42 grains of powder no fireforming great quality brass large accuracy nodes. I've shot 73 grain hammers 80 grain Berger 82 grain Berger 85.5 grain Berger's and the 80.5. The Berger's came together so quick and easy we ran with it to shoot steel to 1k. 3420fps. Perterson brass. As far as build sheet that's up to you as everyone has their favorites. The wife's 22 creed is a savage action xlr chassis.

What twist and barrel length?

 

[bsnyder]

7 twist. If I could do it over I'd shorten the barrel to 20 but right now it's 26.

30-06 necked down to 22 cal

 

[Eric_F]

I'd do a 22 BR, or maybe a 22 Grendel.

Hahaha you are crazy! I like it but that's a little to wild of a wildcat.

I can't wait to hear more about it when it's finished. What are you thinking for speed? 4500fps?

 

[DUCKMAN11]

I'd do a 22 BR, or maybe a 22 Grendel.

I was thinking 22 Grendel or 22 dasher.
