John,

I know you mentioned heavier bullets that is why I said blokes are using 6mm PPCs with 68 grainers and the 219 Zipper worked fine with 50 grainers. In other words I don't see any problem with the 22 Hi Power working.

I tend to agree with Marrakai in that the 22 Savage would be the class way to go. I guess it would depend to some extent on what the rifle was going to be like. If the gun was only going to be a nice little gun to use then the 225 would be the go. There are plenty of bullets up to 80 grains and the bullets like 80 grain Sierra Matchkings will work on animals because I have seen then used from a bench gun in 22/6mm Rem Improved. Sure, these were at just under 3500 at the muzzle but the stuff was shot a long way out.

I suppose the 22 Savage Vs 225 is a bit like the 505 Gibbs Vs 500 A2. If you just wanted to throw together a big banger on CZ then the 500 A2 would be the pick but if it was a top end gun, GMA or H&W action, quarter rib etc then 505 would be the way to go.

I don't know if the 22 Savage is based on the 30/30 case but if it is you could make brass out of them. With the 219 Zipper Improved first lots of 219 Zipper Winchester cases would fireform but with later lots they split and we had to make them from 30/30. Back then (maybe 1963-4) we used vice dies

Perhaps another option if brass is still made would be the 22 Remington Jet. For memory that was very tapered rimmed case that was smaller than the 225 case.

Mike
