For those waiting for good weather go out the back door with a pellet pistol or rifle.

I like mine, works great. Just remember that small footprint devices will be short range. Larger footprint devices like the old fashioned LR, newer FX, and the soon to be out Caldwell can do down range velocities. Another thing is operating frequency. Don't expect new devises (except knock...

Isn't the 22N (except for the rebated rim like a baby 6.5CM? :)

Actually the Garmin Branded battery is about $30, Generic about $20. Easy peasy replacement once out of warranty. I jumped on the Garmin band wagon. It's simple, works, small. I like it. It's a 24GHZ small antenna unit while the LX is a 60GHZ small antenna unit (both wider beam shorter range...

Good luck. My first impression is I like it. 88's @ 2910 and good groups. Got to 2999fps with a 10 shot average but the groups opened up some. Also need more work with the 90's but don't have time before my next 600yd match at the end of the month. I did find it strange that the POI seemed...

Made a range trip with SB6.5, 22 Nosler, 88ELD, and 90SMK. For the loads I took the 88 did better. Will need more work though. 88's @ about 2900 did better than @ 3000. At 100yds the SB6.5 did better than my normal 88 IMR4350. Here's a pic of the targets. 88-IMR, 88-SB6.5 3 loads...

I looked over the published data (Winchester RDC) and seems pretty ho-hum for some calibers but looks interesting for my 22 Nosler with heavies. I still haven't made it out to 1000yds with my 22N but a little more speed (if precise) with a little less pressure than IMR4350 I'm using @ 600 might...

Don't know if I will make it to the local range next weekend to try this out (the flooding is going down) But the forth Saturday of the month is 600 day in Pascagoula. Guess it will be dryfire practice until then through the front door cat hole :)

Welcome JC, not many of us 22N fanatics willing to come out in public :)

Maybe they are sending us "samples" :)

Received a box of 250 22N Dogtown brass from Midway. Sorting out some for my next match I ran across one that was way out of line. 6.8 grains heavier than the rest. Looks like Nosler made an Oops. Is this on purpose maybe??? So far just this one. ---checked the whole box, just this one case.

Thanks Guy(s) :) I could hardly believe the first 99 then another. Wind wasn't bad but there was wind. I think I'm going to stay with a bipod and give up on the rest. Just not the one I used last match. I think the AR needs a more rigid support than a bag in a rest. I try and adjust...

Received my MidRange Sharpshooter card :) Have made two more 600yd matches at Pascagoula. Both with 88ELDs. In January I learned about switching wind from behind. Left/Right, man that was tough for a noob. The strings were 96-2, 97-2, 97-1, 98-4, 97-2, 96-1. A personal best. Did the Feb...

I think they will tell you to use the 69gr load data for the 70. Same OACL, same charge, different B.C.

One last 2018 post about the 22N before it becomes obsolete in 2019 :) Took the 450 prone shoot in Florida, again. Wasn't real proud of the group so no pics. Did some more load work, this time with a 28" X-Caliber, 1:7 5R Bull. No gas port. On the left side of this pic at 100 yards are...
