What weight bullets are you looking at shooting in it???

That 10 twist will open up some options...

The 22 BR is a great ghog/varmint round...I have 2, 12 and 14 twist. A 10 tw will give you a large choice of bullets. Unfortunately, there are not many varmint bullets weighing 69 gr and more...I had a 22 BRX, 9 tw but couldn't get the heavies to go very fast, plus I had too much freebore that eroded in time and I had seating probs since I like to seat .020 into lands. Berger does have a 64gr varmint bullet and my 12 tw pushes them at 3400+ fps and they are death rays! Congrats and keep us posted.

I have three 22BR barrels that are all shooting a good 2 points better than either of my two 8” Krieger 6BR barrels.

I am going to try 53gr vmax up to the 64 gr bergers my action is now trued I'm just doing final barrel Chantal fitting and then when I get my reamer it will be ready to shoot!!!

I shoot water filled Hodgdon powder bottles last weekend. Yesterday I shot out to 1000yds hitting the plinker. So far since I got mine this year, I've put away, 3 ground hogs, and 4 deer. It's a fun little cartridge.


My load---53gr Vmax, 31.3gr IMR8208XBR, Rem 7 1/2 primer, and .020" jump.

I got my barrel chambered. Next week I will bed the stock and it will be ready to shoot!
