22ppc, 22 ppc .100 short, 22 ppc .080 short,

Dan Dowling is still shooting his 22ppc short or as he called it waldog as he was one of the developers. He could help with load data.
 
I was lazy. Went with the 220 Beggs. I finally threw out the 150 brass i started and have shot for over 6 years...Lapua ! Made up 100 using 22 PPC Norma already formed,just annealed again and ran em thru the die...lets see how long these will last ! Same capacity as 22 PPC short ,just no work involved...
Absolutely nothing wrong with being lazy. Back in the early 90s I shot a basic, 220 Russian as I felt that was the powder capacity sweet spot. Before that, it was a 22PPC, then the PPC short (.100"). Brass prep was a chore and the reason I abandoned the 22 and went back to the 6PPC. It's the easy button.
Gene solved that for many when he brought out the Beggs. Now the 22ARC might get more traction, but not competitively. The 6mm is where the juice is that's worth the squeeze.
 
I am really interested in these 22 ppc chamberings. I picked up a nice used 22 ppc .100 short barrel from a good friend of mine, and i am gearing up to shoot it. What i have noticed here on this great site is the lack of 22 ppc info. Info like what powders are working the best, whos making the best 22cal barrels, and what 22cal 52gr bullets are hot right now. I dont know if there is much appeal for these chamberings, but it sure has my interest. Maybe we can share some info about the 22 ppc here. I figure i will start with 4895 for the barrel i have, but if that doesnt work out im not real sure what i will try next? N133, or 335?? Any info you fellas might have obtaining to the 22 ppc please feel free to share! Thanks Lee
I am having excellent results with Benchmark and good old Sierra 52 MK's. When I do my part it will shoot in the 1's or below.
