22 prc

[amassi]

Now that the 22 cm is mainstream and saami approved it’s time for a new hotrod .224.
Think I’ll have a 22 prc reamer drawn up for the 88-95 grain offering.anyone done one? Think this will be the bleeding edge of diminished returns.
Pictured 6.5 prc 147/ 6prc 108/ 22 prc 90 A-tip
*** before the comments start- I could not care less about barrel life- barrels are cheap and I’d rather have fun than clutch pearls***

Looks real similar to one that I saw in P.O. Ackley's book. 52+ grains of powder pushing a 90 grain bullet would definitely be smoking.

Interesting.

Been wondering about one lately my self, was trying to think of a way to maybe do like a 243 win/ 6slr change to the prc case and see if there would be a way to knock down the neck shoulder junction back to a 40deg just slightly shortening the column just a touch, but also giving that sharp shoulder and it anything needing shortened maybe trim the neck.

But that also make dies a big pain.

Re: dies
I’m starting with a straight neck down
I did it with 2 bushings .271, .251
Don’t want to hassle with custom dies

Curious on what kind of speed your getting/ expecting?

Maybe just start with the 7prc case? 7prc>6mm.

I have 2 magnum boltface tikkas that I'd like to make some flavor of 6mm without buying crazy expensive brass or dies

The 6 prc (6.5) or straight 6 saum are easy to wildcat with a simple bushing die.
I’d go prc unless you already have or can source saum brass In which case the 6 saum.

I think I’ll be limited on my barrel blanks
Bartlein 1:8 5R more so than the case capacity.
I’d assume 3400 would be easy with the right powder over 3500.
At 3500 that’s a 8mph gun #
3500 also get closer to 300k rpm for jackets

Have you thought about just going 22UM?

I did when I saw form mention it on here.

I have a 6um on the way- judging by some of the stated velocities over the 6PRC-The 6um seems to be on the ragged edge for 6mm where the gains diminish.

I don’t think there would be worthwhile gains for the hassle of the work in .224
Plus- I don’t want to have to Fireform a second saum case.
Once I burn through my stock of SAUM brass I’ll likely leave it and move to prc cases due to their availability and easy die swap. Having 1 die set and inexpensive brass makes the economy of buying barrels pencil out

I’m pretty stacked on ADG brass for my 6.5 PRC so I like this idea of a 22PRC. Only thing I’ll need to buy is a barrel. Was going to try the 6PRC as well but yeah, doesn’t seem like it’ll be worth the effort.

Since when are you in the slow lane? Funny cars are faster than dragsters these days.

Funny car has a significant BC advantage

What about a 6mm-7prc? No short action, but would probably be a screamer.

We (as in "i") need hornady to make a 6mm prc (based off the 7prc case) and a 120gr eldm.

Yep
Probably be right near where the 6um is but no Fireforming
I think I heard they(unknown munitions)had ordered a reamer already

I wish for both… but it’s never gonnna happen with that case.
