Wanting to shoot an inherited 224 TTH

[MertensPro]

I recently inherited a 224 TTh. I don't have any experience with the wildcat but I have done some research and found the Pro's and cons. I see a lot of guys talking they burned their barrel out after 1000 rounds or more. I'll assure you I won't shoot that many rounds through this rifle but it has my attention and I want to do something with it! Like coyotes at 400 yds. I didn't get any info with the gun but here is what I know: its a Savage 110 long action, 1:9 twist(best I can measure), with fluted barrel(no name on it with a two letter and 4 digit serial number), and what looks to like a Remington stock with the barrel glass bedded. What do you all think? input please!!! Does anyone have some dies and/or brass? Thanks

Mertens -

Howdy !

IMHO - That twist oughta make a bullet like the Sierra 65gr SPBT a valid choice.

For powder, something like AA3100 or.... a bit slower on burn rate.... IMHO.

IF you can, by all means..... give a primer like the FED LR Magnum Match a try.

Try H-4831 and 75 gr bullets. Hornady's 8th edition manual has load data.
Good luck, alton9

Edit to add: .224 TTH is the same thing as .22-6mm Rem.
