A machined case with restricted internal volume might be worth a try. can't we improve on an archaic heeled bullet, mass produced round.Ī cast or swaged HP lead 69gn bullet should be perfect. Why, when we have the ability to select one of any number of bullets, weight, profile, material, any powder type and charge, any barrel twist we fancy and take all the time we want to tinker around with seating depth etc. 22lr, you're given a 40 grain bullet and almost universally, a 1/16 twist - it works OK'ish and has done for over a hundred years. Over that same 50 years, centrefire accuracy has improved in leaps and bounds - 20 years ago a sub 1 moa rifle was something talked about in hushed tones, now it's pretty run of the mill. 50 years later, nothing much has changed - the targets at 100 yards are still the same, rifles are better but 100's are still fairly rare. In the 1960's I was shooting NSRA prone competitions with a BSA International and Tenex ammunition, on the 100 yard targets, scores in the mid to high 90's were quite usual but 100's were quite rare. 22lr has been around for 150 years, the Captain of the Cutty Sark and Abraham Lincoln would both have been quite familiar with it, it's scarcely changed at all. A silent lead HP 69grain bullet at 1050 and 170ftlbs with sub 1moa accuracy at 100 yards sounds good to me, especially if you already have the rifle.
Why can't we develop a load that performs better than the humble. 22lr sub is excellent at the job it's designed for, small game at 40-80 yards, and yes, I know it can be taken further but accuracy is, at best, fairly mediocre once you get round the 100yard mark. 22lr subsonic at 1050 gives 97ftlbs - a 69grain bullet at 1050 is not far off double at about 170ftlbs.

Being able to just change mags to a full power. 22 and seen a fox just out of humane range. 22lr with subsonic ammunition is that it's so very quiet, and as such is idea for rabbit sized pests at moderate ranges in noise sensitive areas, however, on a good few occasions I've been out with the.

These guys have made an industry out of wiping out the general supply of ammo.I can certainly see the sense in this, I'm just surprised it's not done more often and amazed that the accuracy problem doesn't seem to have been really cracked yet. Same story we have all heard over and over. Others, as we know, take there whole family and/or friends to each buy a limit so he can sell them. He points out how one guy brags in forums online that he buys his max and then goes to his truck puts on a jacket, a hat and sunglasses and goes back in and buys another limit. His theory aligns with mine in that many of these guys are unemployed and have the time to dedicate to finding ammo and they are making a living reselling. He also goes into the reasons for the shortage being resellers that buy up all the ammo and resell it for up to $100 a brick for bulk ammo just like we have all seen.
Not quite as good as many of our top loads with 22 LR but plenty good for plinking or hunting. If you want subsonic he loaded the 42 gr Calhoun HP Bullet over 4.0 grains of Blue Dot and got 1,113 fps and the groups averaged. The most accurate load listed is the Speer 40 grain Spire SP with 16.0 grains of IMR 4895 with Rem 7 1/2 Small Rifle BR Primers at 1,586 FPS His accuracy 50 yards range from a HIGH of 1.01" to a very decent. The velocities range from 1,113 fps to 1,814 fps with the 223 rem from a Mods 700. His loads use IMR 4895, Blue Dot and Trail Boss. He loads the 40 grain Speer, 42 grain Calhoun 45 gr rem Round nose and a 22 cal cast bullet from Lyman.

243 and the other by John Barness (for me he is the best handloading author in these times) directly about the rimfire shortage and how to load your center fires in 22 Hornet and. This month's issue of Handloader has two articles about reduced loads. 300BLK was created, no?Įdit to add: Hodgdon now links to their reduced power data right on their home page. Of course, difficulty getting acceptable performance out of subsonic. Having said that, I did not find such reduced loads to be very accurate. Average velocity was 1153fps from a 16" barrel.

The PDF explains how to do this.Īccording to my reloading log, I used 69gr bullets to achieve it in a rifle with a 1:8 twist and last loaded it in 1997.

However, since few manuals include Trail Boss in their recipes, you have to measure its maximum volume in your case and use the 70% rule against that measurement. You can perform a similar search to find the same for Trail Boss. They essentially use the 60% of their published maximum rule for that powder. Google "H4895 reduced rifle load" to find a PDF from Hodgdon explaining how to do it. I do not publish specific recipes on the intertubez, but it can be done with 4895 and Trail Boss, and I have done it with the former.
