For those that are interested here is the finished product. 22BR.

I thought about trying Lever in my AR if I run out of TAC.

The barrel will be 20”, 1:8 twist, .252 neck, .050FB, Lapua brass neck turned to .248 w/ a bullet seated. I will run my loads over a magnetospeed and use that to monitor temp sensitivity. I expect to end up between 2900-3000fps. I’m no newb when it comes to working up safe and accurate loads but...

Do you think 26gr would be a safe place to start with the 80ELD? I'm sure it won't be over pressure but I also don't want to get a bullet stuck in my brand new custom barrel.

After compiling a ton of 224 Valkyrie and 22-250 data it looks like my MAX load will be somewhere around 28.5gr so I was a little high on my original estimate. If I reduce this by 10% it puts me at 25.7 which is basically the book MAX for LEVERevolution in 224 Valkyrie according to the few...

Because it's in the correct burn range and there have been numerous reports of great velocity and accuracy in cartridges ranging from .223 Rem and 224 Valkyrie up to .308 Win and it is readily available. It's in the Hornady Reloading Manual for 224 Valkyrie with 88's.

Here's a pic of the rig as she currently sits in the safe...

Got a 22BR barrel due to arrive at the end of the month and due to powder shortages I'm looking to run LEVERevolution in this rig. I expect good velocity with 80gr ELD's provided I watch my pressure in the heat (not too hot here in Michigan) however I'm unsure of where to start with this...

I think the dasher will have too much gas volume for my 5.56 can.

I do appreciate the input. To be honest I was leaning hard towards a .223AI until I heard some mixed results with 88gr velocities. I’ve been researching this for a couple weeks trying to make a decision.

I’ll probably only shoot a few hundred rounds a year. I’m very familiar with ackley cartridges as I’m currently dismembering a 260AI which will be the platform for this build (parts for sale ;)). I love that you never need to trim an AI case and the rifle is stupid accurate but it’s way too...

That’s pretty impressive. What powder and charge weight?

I read through that thread extensively while trying to choose an intermediate .224 cartridge. Some good info there.

How long would you suggest?

I was super disappointed when I first fired a Barrett 50BMG. I was expecting my arm to fall off but instead it felt like a 12ga turkey load. Impressive recoil reduction, just not the experience I was expecting. Lol

I'm in the process of downsizing my gun collection and trying to build a rifle to fill multiple roles. Here are my goals: Must be .22 caliber (want to mate it to my 5.56 suppressor) Should be fairly short with light recoil (I have little girls that are interested in shooting/hunting) Fling...

Spoon, I just bought a 12LRP in 260 rem and I'm planning on running imr4831 with the 140amax as well so I am curious to know what kind of results you had. Did it give you decent velocities?
