Say whaaaaaat????? I'm listening
I am surprised this hasn't generated more interest. I posted a similar message on a rimfire forum and there haven't been any responses.
I don't know much about the cartridge and haven't had any experience with it. On the other hand, I had a couple of rifles in .22 WMR and was amazed at how well it worked on ground hogs.
If I get this upper, it's going to wear a thermal scope for varmints at night. I have good luck with head shots on the coyotes from 50-150 yards with the .223 V-Max rounds but have to be extremely careful of my direction of fire where I hunt.
This little round has my attention because of limited pass through on the body. Now, I am not foolish enough to think that this will stop a coyote in its tracks with a heart/lung shot. A head shot, on the other hand, is what I am looking for on this round.
RRA says they will be coming out with a version in .22 WMR later. I wonder if I should wait. the advantage of accuracy goes to the .17 HMR but more damage on target goes to the .22 WMR.
Here's a little different view of the BCG.
It's Inland MFG but says they have partnered with RRA. Is the delayed blow back roller locked bolt going to be a new thing now for magnum rimfire cartridges. Imagine 20 rounds of .17 caliber bullets spit out fast as one can pull the trigger on the prairie poodles!
