Wow! That one has some real promise.

Jim you got to be in 22LR velocity range with that, probably more like between that and the 22mag, should kill a coon though:)

Now I am really kicking myself for not picking up that 222 last week.

thanks for the info jim. I was inspired by your tests with red dot and have begun extensive testing with green dot in the 223 using the lee 225438 (though I may switch to the 225107). I am using a 10" inch TC Contender with a 4x Simmons EER scope. Here is a sneak peek:

Jim i use 10 grs. of SR-4759 under thinly jacketed 55 gr bullets and use small pistol primer with good luck they are safe at the low pressures and ignite the powder well.
