I can compromise with myself and lower the overall mass from 6.5 to 6, and gain the benefit of the accompanying increase of velocity for similar BC projectiles for target, and even small game. But, why 22? Aren't there already plenty of better than good options out there shooting 223, 556, 22N, etc? Not bashing here, just wondering what the real draw is to the 22 caliber bores. And going that far down really loses terminal performance to a point that the only game would be paper beyond 200, not really all that much better than 223? Again, asking for help understanding the draw going down in caliber. Thanks.
For me it's varminting. In CO, you aren't allowed on public land with anything over .224 during big game season without a big game tag (I presume they think that although you may be stupid enough to poach, you're not stupid enough to poach with .224 cal). And that coincides with when I have a lot of free time
