Ok, so another of everyone's favorite threads. I need some opinions on a new cartridge. Yes I want to know what everyone thinks lol.
So here is some idea of what I am looking for. Let me know what you think
-small varmint cartridge smaller than 223 but larger than 22lr want center fire
-reloading for the cartridge is fine as long as dies and cartridges are readily available
-cast boolits are ok but will probably be mostly copper jacketed
-not wanting super high velocity somewhere around 2000-2400 out of a carbine length barrel
-also looking for a rifle. prefer bolt action with a magazine but i do have an encore so custom barrel is an option
-wanting a lightweight walking varmint type rifle
-would like to keep muzzle report to a minimum
-been looking at the 22 tcm, 22 hornet, 218 bee, 256 win mag, 5.7x28 etc.
-not interested in a suppressed round
Give me your opinions!
