222 vs 223

[ASMS]

I would like to add a suggestion: I have a Mark 77 in 30-06. Before I had it cryoed it had a average pattern of+10in @ 30 yards, ammo:150 grain different manufactures. After cryo the pattern is less than an 1in @ 100 yards, ammo 150 grain with a unique patina.
You probably won't get the unique patina but you will get a sub MOA barrel.

What, a little skeptical are you?? So going from 5 Foot to 1.5” groups at 200 yards sounds a little hard for you to believe. You Doubting Thomas you.

Here's why-
30 yards is roughly about 27+m. At that range (we'll round down to 25m) 1 MOA is about .25 inch or 1/4". At 27m it's probably about .27-.3. That is the width of a bullet. Remember that measurement. So at 30yds, he shot a group of 10+ inches. That means he shot a group that was greater than FORTY (40) MOA...at 30 yds. This right here is physically impossible unless he was blindfolded, bent over, and shooting between his legs.

40 MOA - over a meter at 100 yds/m. LOL

Then he cryoed his barrel and brought it down to 1 MOA at 100yds, he went from a 40+ MOA gun to a 1 MOA gun by freezing it. Hooey.

@Jcann smelled right

 

[OHJEEZE]

Didn’t realize it was a pistol,
That’s pretty damn good

How could you not realize?

He spelled it out for is all! Lol

This was shot at 100 yards out of an 8” .222 Contender.

I do not know anything (literally) about a contender other than you can change out barrels.
For all I know one could put a rifle barrel on it.

You can do that too!
They was called a Contender Carbine.
Generally 16 and 21", then the later g2 models was 23"

But 8" is still 8 inches!

You could have a Condender Carbine in 222 also.

Back before S&W bought up Thompson Center and ruined them, they had a custom shop called Fox Ridge Outfitters.

They had a big list of cartridges outside of the standard TC offerings to select from!

Reminds me of a joke I should probably keep to myself.
