22 Nosler
It's no big secret I'm not an advocate of the 223/5.56 . But Nosler 's brought out a 22 cal for the AR-15 platform that interests me . https://www.22nosler.com/

Re: 22 Nosler
I was looking yesterday and while brass and dies are not available for this Midway had Stoner Arms complete uppers for $499 with an 18" heavy stainless barrel . Checked them a few minutes ago and they have the same upper on sale for $449 so one is on the way to me now

Re: 22 Nosler
So, a 6.8 spc necked down to 22 cal? Kind of like a 219 zipper improved then?

Re: 22 Nosler
Well low and behold Midway has dies and brass for this thing in stock as I type ! And as one may expect I already have dies 250 pieces of brass , a 250 box of Nosler 50 BT's and a 250 box of Nosler 60 BT's on the way !

They claim it was made on a new case no necking up down or around .

Re: 22 Nosler
Mmmm......maybe if your looking for something new to play with.....223 is sooooo cheap to shoot and with the right loads and today's BDC scopes and shooting the 69 gr. Sierra MK.....with easily bust clay birds out to 500....from my half dozen AR's......even the shorty 11.5". But......it is nice to see companies innovating to keep out sport alive.----6
Re: 22 Nosler
Nosler states a barrel life of around 4000 rounds, is that normal for AR's?

Re: 22 Nosler
New case, but looks like a lengthened 6.8 spc with a rebated rim like the 284 win. Might have to think on this one. Was thinking of chambering a rifle to 223AI, but this might work better!! However, that cheap 223 brass has great appeal!!

Re: 22 Nosler
If this thing shoots well enough to suit me with the Nosler 60 grain Partition and isn't heavy as a boat anchor I may just take steps to take it somewhere and do in a poor unsuspecting deer .Sixgun wrote:Mmmm......maybe if your looking for something new to play with.....223 is sooooo cheap to shoot and with the right loads and today's BDC scopes and shooting the 69 gr.

Re: 22 Nosler
It is quite respectable on paper. Bet it would be a great pasture poodle rig too!
Latest gun mag, Rifle Shooter I think, has a couple ads and lists brass from Nosler but what really got my attention is Hornady has 218 Bee Brass for sale!

Re: 22 Nosler
I'm shooting a 223AI out of a 21" Contender. A load of H335 gives me 3400fps with a55gr bullet. Haven't tried any other powders yet.Thunder50 wrote:New case, but looks like a lengthened 6.8 spc with a rebated rim like the 284 win. Might have to think on this one.

30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

Re: 22 Nosler
At the link the 22 Nosler was compared to "5.56x45" of unknown bullet weight or barrel length used. Interesting.
Ballistics on Nosler site show a 55gr 22 Nosler doing 3350fps.
A 20" barrel AR with 55gr M193 will do 3250fps. That is milspec M16 standard performance.
The velocity they show for comparison labeled as "5.56x45" is in fact that of 62gr M855 from a 14.5" M4 barrel. They give no barrel length or bullet weight for the "5.56x45" on the chart.
An 18" barrel 22 Nosler will give an increase of 100fps over a 20" barrel 5.56 with the same weight bullet.
M193 from a 22" barrel does 3360fps.
Here a 26" .223 barrel is cut down in 1" increments. m193 reaches 3431fps.

A 24" .223 AI will push 77gr bullets to 3000fps, and 55gr to 3500fps and can also shoot .223 and 5.56.
