Dialing in with 52gr Speer HPs. Not a bad little bullet. For more great content, join me on Patreon. / cavedweller1959 For Tees & Hoodies, my-store-47fa1...
I love my ol 1965 Revelation model 225 in .222 Remington. It’s got a vintage weaver k4. I’ve also got a vintage weaver k6. Those 50 grain Speer and 52 grain Speer HPs show out mighty fine in my old rig too.
Wowza that third group. Thanks to your vids I found a mint Remington 222 with the bull barrel from the 70’s I believe. Got lucky. She shoots incredible with Hornady 50 grain. I’ll never sell it
I sure do miss ya on the tube!! I love RUclips!! It's free man!! Hickok 45, Eric Cortina, who tee who, Texas plinking, Toadley Browne, military arms channel, just to name a few!! Have a good week
And every single one of them is sponsored. Who tee who claims he just some regular old dude like us. But he isn't. I watched his stuff before sponsorships. I don't watch anymore cause he fails to tell people he is sponsored and that's how he makes his money not from RUclips. And hickok has big sponsors too he gets guns and ammo sponsored as well as many others.
@@trentsnaza3372 when you got sponsors like an ammo sponsor you gotta push their products. CD 59 reloads. So he ain't gonna push some factory ammo. And a lot of guys do RUclips as a hobby such as CD and don't want the hassle of pleasing sponsors. And if you watched who tee who before the sponsorship from Remington you'll know a lot of his rifles group ammo better than they do with Remington. I've seen him say oh my rifle groups this Remington better than any other ammo which is false.
@@trentsnaza3372 it sucks that it has come to that on RUclips. Cause I miss the videos that weren't just pushing sponsored products. Like who tee who's old stuff.
I tried 2 powders with 4 step ladder with those 52gr. My 223 varmint barrel got 1 3/8" best group doing 3250fps to 3370fps. 40gr V max gets consistent 5/8"-11/16" groups so set the 52gr aside for now. Thanks for sharing!
Morning man! Think Im gonna build a 6arc bolt on a Howa Mini... Mostly a short ta 400 ish yard range target gun but dont want a 15# gun. So I could still hunt it. Thoughts?
Sounds good on paper. Myself, I got my head wrapped around a Ruger gen2, 22 ARC, slip it in to a Boyds stock. But 1st need to compare 22arc verse 6arc ballistics. just for late season coyotes.
Love that ol rifle cd…went up on stripjob with some buddies yesterday and shot ol fn spr at 800 and no problemo….168gmm from Wally World….buddie has big barreled 6.5 with 36x razor and lot different from my 15x viper…hell Walmarts got .222 in Remington right now….thanks bud…matt
Me too…I load the 95gr v max in mine and got high as 3666fps before backin down round 3550fps to ease up on my brass…rem mag primers been doin good too…h4350..2.70”oal..carbon 2020waypoint

This is a first. Dorfman Pacific Co. Bought my 1st one at Wall Drug, Wall SD, over 40 years ago. It shows no model, but I believe they should name it the CD59.
Have had great success with these. 3/4” at hundred out of a gas gun I have set up for varminting. These will blow up PD’s out to 200. Great on gophers as well.

The 222 never fails to impress. It's a cartridge that is too often over looked for performance. Great video!

@joshp8395 so what does that tell ya?? Get some sponsors!! Rob Sky from Vintage rifle shooters isn't sponsored! That's another good one!!

I've always liked that bullet. Thanks for posting on YT!
Triple deuce is my favorite center fire.
That 52 gr hp was my stanard bullet for 22-250 loads. Bought em in the 1000 pack.
Good to see you made it through the winter!!!! Not over yet though.
Congrats on that upcoming birthday! I can’t wait to retire…..

I use same bullets with 23gr benchmark
james calhoon double hollow points in .223 are awsome
Where did you get that stock for the 17 WSM? super fun.....Greg
Boyds Gunstocks.
Cavedweller have you ever tried factory second bullets. I tried some a year ago. Some were good others were junk
No, I haven't. It's the "others were junk" part that I see in them.
Can't wait to see the 6.5 prc

The PRC isn't doing well lately. Reloader 25 is thee powder of choice, and it's not exactly growing on trees right now. But I'll keep playing with it.

What make and model hat you wearing CD?
This is a first. Dorfman Pacific Co. Bought my 1st one at Wall Drug, Wall SD, over 40 years ago. It shows no model, but I believe they should name it the CD59.
You can send the $50 now. Nice 3rd group.
Love your videos! Can you speak to the accuracy of fiocchi vmax 50gr?
Have had great success with these. 3/4” at hundred out of a gas gun I have set up for varminting. These will blow up PD’s out to 200. Great on gophers as well.
No, sorry. I don't do a lot of factory ammo.
What brand of barrel did you rebarrel your rifle with?
Shilen, 22", 1 - 14 twist. 1 step heavier than factory. Should have gone 1-12" twist.
I'll take my $50
