    22 Grendel, slightly bigger brother to the 22 ARC

    I built this in late 2022 with a Howa mini & factory 223 1-8 19" barrel, been sitting in the safe for a couple of years since then, I had an AR upper in 22 Grendel back in the good old days



    It's had 147 rounds through it now, started with the 77 TMK & it shot incredibly well at around 3050 fps with 2208



    With the recent advent of the slightly smaller 22 ARC and load data availible, I dug it out & loaded up some 68 HP, 77 TMK 80 & 88 ELDM for fun with a ball powder



    It still shoots very well for a factory barrel even with the noticeable increase in velocity from the different powder, with the 77TMK, & 80, 88ELDM easily capable of sub 1/2 moa at 100

    I guess less than a 223, more than a 22-250, way more than a 22CM, 22-243 etc

    Is it a straight resize of the Grendel case Greg?
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    Tried some Hammer projectiles in it this morning, the 69 Absolute Hammers first



    Then the 68 Hammer Hunter Tipped



    Pretty good for a guessed length & powder charge, pretty normal for Hammer projectiles to be fair

    Cripes they would sting.
    Ive just loaded some 68 Hammer Tipped and 62 Makers to try in my Creedmoor. Up around 3.6K fps
