    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Re: optimal 22LR bullet design I understand why the .224 bullet will not work and now have what I believe is a better understanding for the 22LR all together. To illustrate the design I came up with a cheesy little drawing so it will help make it easier to grasp. Forgive me if I am wrong and...

    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Re: optimal 22LR bullet design What are the exact bullets you are testing? They sound like .224 bullets Just to make sure before hand, I was under the impression you could not safely discharge a .224(223 Rem) bullets in a 22LR. It might possibly work for some of the 22Hornet bullets that...

    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Re: optimal 22LR bullet design For the record I shot Brian Litz a pm asking if he could chime in a little as well. Obviously he works with larger platforms typically. But I believe he could shed a little more light on what and why, if and when, whats possible and what is not and so on.

    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Re: optimal 22LR bullet design even before this thread I was assuming that was the case. like I said Im sure I am not the first conehead with to much time on my hands that was sitting around thinking of stuff like this. Realistically it is the last niche in the 22LR offerings. I was assuming...

    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Re: optimal 22LR bullet design Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that higher BC bullets we accurate around the sound barrier. For example the 300 blackout / whisper And the success guys have had with subsonic loads. Specifically with higher BC bullets such as the 208 Amax.

    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Re: optimal 22LR bullet design Lol. I see what you are saying. But it seems to be the last niche that needs filled. Even if they produced some plated bullets with a more aerodynamic tip. I think it is safe to assume that jacketed bullets likely will not work in most rifles. But someone a...

    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Talking with a couple guys this week got me wondering about 22LR bullet designs and doing a little research (with little to be found). Basically in a nut shell we were talking about why we dont see new designs being released for the 22LR. Over the past few years we have seen success with the...
