Thanks Wazza - very helpful & appreciated. I would be using 223 ADI once fired brass necked down & in anticipation I've loaded up 25.2 of BM2 behind Bergers 35 grain proj but wasn't game to go any higher as I was having trouble getting much load data. The one I'm looking at ,but don't need ...

I have one on a rem 700 action no neck turn chamber I use OSA/ADI brass redding neck die .229 bush one pass neck down, win/rem brass .227 bushing.
My load is 25.5g ADI BM2 and a 32g Z MAX for 3750fps out of a 22" barrel very accurate load and hits hard.

I have a dreamline classic in 22cal and it shoots great. I get 4 mags before it drops of the regulator.

I am running 28gr of bm2 behind 40gr z max for 3640fps out of a 20 inch barrel.

I picked up a 1 in 12 twist barrel they are stamped .223 and are not pre chambered.
I haven't measured it yet to see if that is the bore size or not.

222 rem rimless on a martini cadet action, Only looking for about 3200fps with 40gr projectiles. I am not chasing velocity its more about the rifle itself being fun to shoot and to fill the gap between my 22k hornet and 223.

I had one many years ago that I have always regretted selling.
waz.

The 224 cal barrel is being offered in 1 in 12 twist now, I just ordered 1.

I could possible live with the stock but not the paint job.

I think from memory when sporting shooter reviewed the win low wall 17wsm, Uncle Nick said he would not recommend it to anyone because of its inaccuracy.

Interesting concept I might have to investigate this a bit more Do coat the projies in a jar in a case tumbler ala molly Dave just rolls the projectiles in the talc powder, It works the same as polishing a rough bore with JB bore paste but probably gives you a more even polish because you are worki...
