Old Remington 22 match bullets question

[Longone1]

Does anyone have a picture of one or can describe what one looks like? Measurements? I have a small quantity of some older Remington bullets and before I just plant them in the dirt maybe someone could use them if they are them).

Sorry fat fingers.

If it is only 9 bullets just shoot them. They were the standard and very good bullets.

Longone1, The Remington 22 cal. benchrest bullets that I have are flat base, hollow points, and weigh 52 grains. The length is approx .693"

Thank you John,

Apparently what I have are just their std. production bullets, mine are concave base w/ a hollow point and weigh 50 grains.

Thank you.

OK,.......is that good or are they just the run of the mill?

Thanks, Longone

The two rifles that I used this bullet in enough to see it's potential were a 22-250 that would consistantly group five shots into 5/8" at 100 yds and a 222 Rem. Mag. that would consistantly group five shots into .4" at 100 tds. The 222 Rem. Mag. is an A&M barrel on a M722 and it's best group was .26". Based on that experience I believe their limit is .4".

The bullets were bought in bulk when they were cheaper than other bullets.

The 50 and 55 grain plhp's are a guarded secret as their nickname is the poormans match bullet. They don't look like much but out of my ar-15 for example it has and will quite regularly shoot under a half inch. Out of my 22-250ai it shoot those 50's even better.If you don't want them send them to me for proper disposal.LOL

Jon, FYI the Sierra 55 blitzking is the 52gr match with the plastic tip. they shoot like the 52's in my 22-250
