[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 272049, member: 313"] In my 22-243 AI I would shoot the 75gr A-max @ 3,670 ft/sec. This load was extremely accurate in my heavy varmint rig. Best group was .625" @ 600 yards. (lasered & witnessed) You could easily exceed 5,000 ft sec if you reduced bullet wight to 30gr. I never bothered with light-weight .224 bullets because the BC was so low. Plenty of good 75gr - 90gr .224 bullets for the 22-6mm, 22-284, or 22-06 if you really want a longrange .224 based rifle. I'm guessing that there would be no practical advantage to a 22-7mm mag. If there were 120gr .224 bullets and barrels twisted accordingly then the extremely overbored 22-7mm might make a very interesting and entertaining cartridge. However, throat life would be rather limited. [/QUOTE]
