I got a pretty good deal on a NOE 4 cavity 225 55gr FN. I initially thought I would use this gas checked in my AR15, but I'm having second thoughts as to that working in a gas gun. Anybody use this in an AR? If not, what cartridge and model rifle would you suggest for this bullet. I'm thinking 22 Hornet, 218 Bee. What other cartridges use .224-.225 and 55gr successfully?

Thanks,
Craig

it wil work just fine in your AR, the 22-250, the 220 swift.
maybe even the hornet.

Works great in my AR. IMR4064 is showing progress for an accuracy load and as yet I have not seen any leading.

I know this answer ! You get an ol' rattle trap Carcano and a bbl blank and set it up in 224 Weatherby Varmit Master.

Here's mine in 7RWH. A 7mm 6.8 Rem neckup .
