.22 CB under 1000fps, load suggestions - Page 2

Now you have me thinking. I've always admired that long necked .222, looks like a baby 30-30. But are they really potentially more accurate than a .223 well loaded? Geez, that's all I need, another .22. Barely scratched the surface developing loads for my .223s and Hornets! Tell me I don't need one, please.

Many years ago I use to load a 22-250 down to squirrel hunting loads with no problem shot very well, don't remember what the load was but it wasn't hard to acheive.

I didn't think that NEED had anything to do with it.

What about 223wssm? I can buy a Browning A-Bolt here in Australia for about half of what a A-bolt costs in any other calibre.

With the cost saving in buying the rifle I should be able to afford a good few cases and then just load down to save barrel life.

The question is can I load low enough. How low could I go with trail boss?
