It is Fabrique Nationale Belgium AKA FN. I was given a pile of once fired brass many years ago. The lot I had was all boxer primed.

Greetings, I bought some of the CAC stuff in boxes like that in the late sixties, cost thirty bob ($3.00) a packet. Likely to be Berdan primed. There may be collector interest in it, perhaps a lot....

Hi Kudu How are you? I use 2207 in 222 Sako with 50 Bal tips, very accurate load and hits hard. I think all 222's are inherently accurate due to the longish neck, and I have used the Hornady SX 50...

Greetings Kudu, The go to load for the .222 R seems to have been 20.5 grains of IMR or H 4198 (AR 2207) behind a flat base 50 grain projectile just about forever. Well since 1950 anyway. The 14 inch...

When I first started meat hunting I used Sierra 52 grn match hollow point. Great cheap little bullet that behave a bit like the Barnes do.

I found the same thing in my Sako .222 where i didn't like the 55 gr variety. Ended up shooting 50 gr Hornady fine but only shot two deer with it. Powder... i use BM2 as that worked better in my...

If I didn't have too many rifles and not enough time left to use them all I would get a Mauser M18 in 6.5prc for $1,250, chop it to 18-20" (I would do 20"), put a dpt on it and call it my only rifle....
