    Anyone care to share their bullet weight and barrel length and velocity.

    I get 2750 for 77tmk out of 16” AR and another brand does 2920 out of a 18” bolt

    Debating if the juice is worth it
     
    I don't have a 22ARC, per se, but I do have a 224 predator barrel from ARP, before @Constructor retired(?). It is 20", 3R rifled. I bought the Hornady 224 Predator dies from him at the same time I bought the barrel. Hornady? Hmmm. Anyway, I recently asked Hornady TS about the differences between the 224 Predator and the 22 ARC dies. All their TS was able (willing?) to say is that they are "very similar."

    Well, I saw a few varieties of 22ARC at Bass Pro a couple of weeks ago, and fully being of the belief that "if it fits, it ships," I bought 1 box of the 3 available varieties. My apologies to the resident statisticians...

    It was a quick trip out to the range and I didn't want to print out new targets. You'll just have to take my word that I didn't tape up spurious holes after the fact...
