[6.5guys2]

Ok guys and gals let’s hear what everyone’s reload data is looking like for the new 22 arc with the new 62gr eld/vt bullet. I know from my 20in proof it sure likes the factory and pushing them at about 3200fps.

I can say I have killed a ton of prairie dogs the past 3 days with the factory hornady 62gr eld-vt ammo. I have killed a ton 886 plus here is one that was a 372 yard kill. I just want some reloading info for the 62gr eldvt this factory stuff is shooting 1/2inch or better out of a 20inch proof barrel now but I like to reload and I have about 300 empty cases now to reload for and I know someone has to have some info on these rounds thanks in advance for any info
