![]() No minimum bullet weight, minimum energy of (no subsonic 22lr has that, but a subsonic 45-50grain 22mag does.) Group 4 = smalest game (what is left over) Minimum bullet weight of 38.5grains/2,5gram & for this group is: 22 hornet, 218bee, 22ppc, 22mag etc Minimum bullet weight of 49grains/3,2gram & for this group is: 22-250, 222/223rem, 243win etc Minimum bullet weight of 138grains/9gram & or 154grains/10gram & for this group is: 45-70, 30-06, 308W, 7mm rem mag, 270win etc Group 1 = biggest game (and any/all game and animals) We have 4 different "groups" of hunting gun performance/requirements in Sweden. It's possibly the powder will settle far enough away from the primer (since there is less powder in there) that it will not ignite as quickly or efficiently.this could cause problems with accuracy as well.Ĭlick to expand.You are getting me wrong or maybe I dident explain well enough. 22mag case, you might find you are getting inconsistent ignition. Last but not least, depending on the amount of powder used in the. You will need to be able to prove your ammunition meets the required energy lever-something not easily/readily shown in the field.so you MUST know velocity as well as bullet weight.Īlso, don't forget the inherent risks of modifying rimfire-primed ammunition.especially the bullet seating process. They will want to know what your are shooting, how it was modified, and for proof that it meets minimum requirements. If a game warden/officer were to see you shooting game with a subsonic 22mag they WILL become highly suspicious. You WILL need to be able to test the ammunition to get it to the required levels (and consistent).Īlso, don't forget legality. You cannot expect to be able to do this without a chronograph. There very well may be others as well.Īs for how much powder will need to be lost to drop the velocity to your required level? Test and find out. On top of this, there is also the Aguila SuperMaximum Hyper Velocity 204ft/lbs, and the Aguila Intercepter also exceeds your 150ft/lb requirement but is not easily found. The CCI Velocitor exceeds this limit by 33ft/lbs. Great on small game without much destruction to the edible parts.Ĭlick to expand.The CCI Stinger and Segmented hollow points (quick-shok) in 22lr all exceed the 150ft/lbs energy muzzle requirement by 41ft/lbs. Inexpensive to shoot, which means you get TONS of practice. Yes, it'll suck up another spot on your license.but a 22lr is a GREAT tool. Personally, I'd just look into adding a 22lr to the collection. Ultimately, though.I think the cost and time involved would be GREAT. It'll take some work getting the right powder/charge, but you should be able to get something that will work well enough to suit your needs. Buy a BUNCH of the cheapest 22mag ammo you can find and pull all the bullets. You would likely be best suited molding your own lead ammunition. Ulitmately, I can NEVER see it happening on the open 'll have to be a one-off, custom attempt to make a subsonic magnum round. Of course, I don't have a restriction on how many firearms I can own. I can't understand wanting a sub-sonic MAGNUM round.really seems contradictory. With such a slow speed, you also can't expect any of the current quality jacketed rounds to peform well.(not explosive, not much/any expansion). I agree a jacketed round will not lend itself well to such slow speeds. 22 calibers B.C meen that the bullet has to weigh at least 45 grains. Of 150 Joule (110.6 ft/lbs) at the muzzle of the gun to quallify as a legal smal game hunting gun/load. I would like to use a heavier bullet to becouse of Swedish hunting regulations states a minimum of strikeforce Has anyone tried this? To load down a 22mag? ![]() Therefor I want to use my gun in as many ways I can, hunting a wide specrum of game. In Sweden (where I am from) they have a restriction on how many guns a hunter is allowed to have, ![]() I have a savage 24 22mag/20gauge kombo gun and I would like to hunt smaller game at closerĭistance without destroying to much meat or having the loud bang. Such a load would be perfect for squirrels and other small game and it would be very quiet in a longer barrel. Something like a 50grain bullet, maybe federals HP, with redused load to a speed of 1033-1050 ft/sec (315-320 m/sec). I was wondering about the possibility to (re)load a 22 magnum to subsonic speed and get a load similar to aĢ2LR subsonic but with better precision than if using a adapter/old 22mag shell and fire a 22lr. While about all kind of rimfire related hunting and shooting and appriciate all the information a lott. First of all, I am new here and I would like to say thank you all for such a great forum!
