22 cal 40gr vmax
For anybody that has used 22 cal 40gr vmaxes, where have you found they shoot best at? I'm trying to get a general consensus on how far off the lands they prefer.

I always start a Vmax at .020 off. Move in or out .003, but usually .020 is tough to beat.
|
I start 0.020-0.025 and seat deeper for field loads, or mag length and move in.

Are you shooting these 40gr Vmax in a custom chambered gun that has little to zero freebore because if this is a factory gun it's not likely you'll be able to reach the lands without the bullet falling out of the case.

Last time I loaded these, a Savage 112 in 223. I quit testing at 0.026 from touching, it yielded repeated groups that shots all touched. Seemed good enough for prairie dog. Almost all my shooting is hunting related, so I never load into or touching. I have to be able to unload a live load and rechamber without length changes.

All of my gas guns shoot excellent with OVAL set max length inside the magazine!!

Here is a group at 100 yds, bedded/floated but otherwise stock 1970s Sako Vixen in 222 Rem: 40 V-max, H4198, jump .020".
Scale 1:1 The fine grid is 1/4". http://www.saubier.com/forum/picture...pictureid=2360 - |
