Predator Rifles! Let's See Them!

Where did ya find the badger? Shot one on the highline a couple weeks ago during a Prarie dog shoot and the little shit slid back down the hole I could get him, really wanting one for the wall.

Down by Boulder when I was shooting gophers. Wanted to see what 69SMK’s did on small game and they certainly delivered.

Tikka T3x in .22-250 8tw, Stocky’s VGS, Creedo 2.5-15x.

Originally bought it with intention of reaming it out to .22 Creed but I’m having too much fun with it as is. I found another .223 tikka take-off that’s on the shelf and on deck for chop/thread/ream.
 
That 22 ARC cartridge is puzzling to me.

Hornady touts it as being modern almost 22-250. But the other day, browsing thru LGS ammo and see 22 ARC 50gr actually doing slightly less velocity than their same 50gr load in .223 Rem. ???

Seemed like a good way to kill a cartridge before it ever begins.
 
I see why you said "Dare ya" because looking at Hornady's site directly... I'm not even seeing a 50gr load for the 22 ARC... so Turner's IT people must be messin' up.

Let's see, looking at the smallest loading they show here w/ lead-free it says 70gr Ok.. that's the one with 3125fps. Was WONDERING how the hell something that "weighed the same" (HA!) and went slower, could produce more energy. The math wasn't mathing there.

Prezactly. The dare, to prove the fact that there is NO commercially loaded 50 grainers in the ARC. Copper Creeks 53's are as light as there is (so far).
