I see that this cartridge is available in the new NCH. In the handloading book they have OAL at 2.25". First I've seen anything about this. Is this the 22 Nosler necked up for AR use?
What is going on with Ballistic Tips in 6.5? I need some 140's for my Swede and they are out of stock everywhere! Are they concentrating on some other bullet line right now or what?
Question for the AR tinkerers here. I just installed an adjustable gas block on my 22 Nosler. Can I now go with a very light buffer weight. I have a kit to mix and match the weights inside. Seems to me if i go with the lightest buffer and tune my gas to that I should be good,right?
For anyone that loads for centerfire pump guns do you use small base dies? My son in law would like for me to load for his Remington 270 but all I have is standard 2 die set. I've seen it said you should use sb dies for ar's but I've never had a problem using std. dies for them. Just wondering...
Seems like all load data starts with 55 gr stuff. I've got some 40's I'd like to try out of mine. Should I just start with top end 223 Rem loads? The max loads in the Nosler manual are way slower than advertised,but then again I'm only running an 18"bbl.
Reloading this cartridge has become the biggest PITA for me. Either the brass from the factory load is so deformed or is out of spec to begin with. I use a lee hand priming tool for all my rifles and about half of these cases barely fit the shell holder,even after taking a small file to them to...
Anybody shooting one yet? My son may be getting one in the Ruger precision. My question is if we use 6.5 Lapua brass and neck it down will we need to turn it?. I'd rather not use the Hornady brass if I don't have to.
Second time out with the AR Stoner 22 Nosler and all's working good with the new extractor(broke after 14 rds). I fired some w/o the brass catcher and it's ejection is about 1 o'clock. Is there any way to adjust this to about 3-4 o'clock? Heavier buffer maybe?
