Max load of imr 8208 and 53 vmax in my 12 twist 24 inch krieger barrel. Super Good Accuracy!

Imr 8208 and 53 Vmax

And the naysayers say it ain't so. Don't know of a 222Mag going that fast with a 53gr bullet. Good work Chance...knew it would do it.

The accuracy has impressed me with this cartridge!

It sure does...but they keep trying.

It sure gets old educating people on the fact that the 222 Mag is smaller than the 22/204!

That is my cartridge picture, spread it far & wide to educate the masses.

Unfortunately, I've all but given up trying to defend the cartridge, it's not worth the heartburn.

While I haven't been a proponent quite as long as AWS, I'm still going on 12 years shooting one, having had 4 different reamers, and built at least a half dozen guns so chambered.

Presently down to only four now days.

Last year I drew a Wisconsin bobcat tag, so not having a fur friendly gun/load in the arsenal, I took my lightest gun & found a reduced load shooting 55 grain Ballistic Tips at 2700, using 17.8 grains of IMR 4227.

Unfortunately I did not call in any cats, but did manage to call in one coyote. The shot was broadside at 30 yards. The coyote ran about 70 yards & piled up, and never bled a drop in the snow. Perfect hide with no exit. I'm sure it would have worked great on a bobcat.
