    Anyone run a 22x6mm or 224 TTH?

    I have a 22-6mm Ackley Imp that does well with the 80gr Amax. I am still fireforming brass so I expect it to get better yet. I am using 47gr of Viht N165 and Fed 210M primers behind the 80gr Amax for a fireforming load and getting 3320fps. This load gives groups of 1/2" or less, I like it.

    Lightest Varmint bullet for a 1/8 .223 ?

    I run 40gr Vmax in a 223 1-12 at around 4000fps but as stated above you would have to slow them down a ton for a 1-8 or I don't believe they would hold together. 55 or 60 would be a better choice IMO.

    Anyone using Ruger M77 Mark II ?

    I like my Rugers. I have several (223, 22-250, 22 Hornet) and all shoot well. My smith does hate working on them, the triggers on mine are polished and pull at around 2.5lbs. If your looking for a good hunting rifle I would recommend one and you can build on one but not as easily as a Rem or Savage.

    What's your take on Vihtavuori powders?

    I don't shoot high volume, but when I shoot its almost always Viht powder. I find it to be clean burning and almost always able to get what I want out of a given cartridge. I have used N110, N120, N130, N133, N135, N140, N150, N160, N165, N540, and N560. Luv this stuff.

    Pierced primers - what is causing this?

    I would try backing the load down a bit and if you still have that much cratering have the bolt sleeved.

    presses for 338 lapua mag?

    I use my Dillon 550b but do not trust the Dillon powder measure dropping that much powder, I use a Chargemaster.

    Chronograph Reccomendations

    It took a little bit to get them lined up but I ran an Oehler in front of my Shooting Chrony both showed similar speeds with my Chrony being consistently a few fps slower because it was downrange of the Oehler. The chrony I get next will be the "Magneto Speed" it looks to be the best as far as...

    223 bolt action ?

    I've had several 223s and most shoot well. You should have no problem finding one that will get you to 300 yards with light or heavy bullets.
