Anyone have much experience with the 22 Jet in the Smith Model 53 with the 8 3/8" barrel ?
Have only tried 7.5 gn. 4227 with the Lyman 225438 and was surprised to see it actually outshot the factory equivalent 40 gn. load with the Hornaday jacketed bullet but would like to find something with a bit more zip to it if possible. Looks like this could be a good number to take up after rock chucks but they can be a tough little critter to drop.
The above load came from a older Lyman manual and the later manuals I have do not even show it.
Something more up to date would be appreciated.
