22-243 middlestead

[saskhunter]

Just wondering if anyone has one of these. I bought one a year or so ago and really like this caliber. Just fishing for some new loads or any great build stories? I am shooting a 50gr v-max w/42gr of imr4064. just a hair over 4000the little bit I used it was sure fun.
This is the same look the gophers had

I have one, built on a 788 action, with a 27" 1-14 heavy barrel. I'll have to look through my data and see what I have filed away. - dan

I have converted a couple of 7600's to 22-243. These make the ultimate coyote rifle accurate with firepower and easy to manipulate with gloves on.

SaskHunter,

A buddy (we call him SPEED) has one. I'll ask him for some of his loads.

My gopher rifle (when we are not using our 308's or 300 RUM like on the day of your post, Nov 26th, yup, we were, game warden could not believe it either) is a 22MR wildcat, the one on the far right and yup, at over 4000 fps too. Fun, isn't it.

LOL ... Blue streaks that will not make paper at 100 yds around 4100-4200 fps and I'm not the one we call SPEED!! I find mine works best around 3700 fps accuracy wise

Kodiak thanks for checking that out. Maybe next time you guys go we could hook up for some exploding of varmints?
