222 Remington Load for shorter barrel

[jimbires]

I used IMR4198 with 50 gr bullets in my 222 . I haven't shot it in a long time , my ammo says 11/15/1984 .

I was just goofing around with mine. Put a target up at the house and threw a bag over the railing. Found some old Federal 50 grain SPs for darned near free. I think it’ll work.







Shot halfway decent for the makeshift rest I had.





I’ll goof around with handloads when I get my room set back up. Right now, I’ll keep winging this cheap stuff!

That is definitely a fine looking firearm, Scotty. Great acquisition on your part. I do love the looks of a Mannlicher stock.

Thanks Mike. It’s a blast shooting the little pipsqueaks.

It’ll be a fun little rifle to tote around here and there.
