Thread: Smallest calibre riffle allowed on Doc land

Greetings @Micky Duck,
I appear to have re created some .22 Savage Hi Power loads in my .223. Using the Speer 70 grain soft point and 23 grains of AR2206H (all that would fit in the S&B cases) chronographed 2,680 fps. The S&B cases are very heavy at 105 grains compared to 94 to 97 grains for most US commercial and military cases. I will try loads with BM8208 which is less bulky and faster. The Speer 70 grain projectile should stabilise in a 12 inch twist .223 due to their blunt shape. Once I have sorted a load I will try to take it on one of my gentlemans hours mid week wanders. Regrettably the .223 is only one of a number of rifles requesting space in my tiny truck when I am bush bound.
Regards Grandpamac.
