On today's episode of bored at work, my internal monologue and I were researching hot rod 22's.
Was pricing out a barrel for a 22-284 and saw that PBB offers the 22-277. Which honestly is the cartridge I want. But didn't think it'd be possible.
I know a few guys on here have tinkered with the cases.
I'd have to get dies made I'm guessing. Or atleast a seater. Probably could use a 277 bushing die then use a series of bushing to work the cases down to the Lords caliber.
Just kind of curious how load dev goes for cranking the pressure to its potential. Shove as much n565 in the case as possible (sarcasm)? Just don't want to go this route and find out it's actually not possible to get the full potential out of it. Can quick loads give a starting point?
In theory it should push an 88 at 3300 in an 18" or maybe faster. Which is crazy.
Be this or just wait for the 22 creed plus peak. But there's probably even more questions on reloading those cases.
