22 GT with 50-75 gr Bullets?

Just finished initial LD with 20" Krieger 1-8 for 64 TGK's. I didn't inform my gunsmith that it would be for those bullets and it wound up with a .169 Fb which was concerning at first. .035 jump and 34.2 grains of Varget is shooting .2~ on virgin Alpha OCD. Haven't chrono'd yet but I did kill 2 pigs with one shot at 225 yards. Will report more info as it comes.

I am building a 1-9 18" on a #6 Krieger for myself. I will have it chambered with a .077 fb. Intend to either shoot 60 grain TMK's, or 69 TMK's out of it. It probably won't be done for a while though. Manners will take a while on the stock.

Took the first couple coyotes with the 20" 22GT. It performed as expected. Both had exits. Both very nasty. One at 200ish yards and the other at 60. Still haven't chrono'd it yet. Will soon.

I have also since changed my mind on the freebore for mine. I'm leaning toward a .120 on mine and shooting 73 grain Bergers. May get a load together for 69TMK's as well. Still waiting on the stock for it.
