22 ARC subsonic ???

[mr.big]

Can't find any load data, the case holds 34 grs water and the 223 is about 29,, I have loaded the 223 with the 69 SMK and Blue dot at 1025 fps ,, may try that but would like to find some data first.

I didn't have a chrono, but 8gr of titegroup was in the ballpark with a 75eld

Thanx man. I've got some titegroup and you can buy that but I've only got a little blue dot and that's what I use for my 357 Sig

I've come to use Titegroup for a LOT of things…

What's everybody's thoughts on the 22 arc? looks to be reasonable to reload to shoot more

I personally wouldn't use one to go subsonic, but I'd have no issue using one to hunt with, or shoot with. With heavy bullets they'll kill much further than most can shoot. It's like a 223, with a gym membership. If you want a 223 on steroids, go to a 22 creed

I've been shooting/reloading one for a while. I like it a lot. Bullets are pretty much the same price as 223, but with better bc and 3-4 more cents of powder they keep terminal velocity a couple hundred yards past the 223. To me a creedmoor just isn't worth the additional cost/shot

I don't want 1 for a suppressor but I don't have a 22/250 so thought about a upper to go on the AR , love the 6arc but still haven't stretch it out yet.
