[QUOTE="Son of a Gun!, post: 3095479, member: 115406"] Just picked up a Rem. 722 in 244 Rem. at an auction a couple of weeks ago. I owned a 6mm Rem when I lived in South Dakota years ago I killed several antelope, a couple mule deer and quite a few coyotes with this 6mm and I still had several boxes of brass but must have let my dies go with the gun. I finally found a set of dies in one of the sporting goods stores in Casper but no brass! I also got a box of Hornady 90 gr. ELD-X and Speer 85 gr. SBT bullets as the 244 has a 1 in 12 twist barrel I wasn't sure if the ELD-Xs would shoot. Well just tested these settling on 43 grs. of Alliant RL-16 for the 90 gr. ELD-X seated to 2.950" for 3264 fps. out of this rifles 26" bbl. And the Speer 85gr. with 47 grs. Win. 6.5 Stabil seated 2.825"for 3442 fps. The 90gr. ELD-x shot great 1" 3 shot 100, 2" 200, and 3" 300 yd groups only they are to long to fit in my rifles magazine so they are a single shot deal! Plan to try this out on an antelope and will probably let my Grandson shoot his first Antelope with it maybe a deer too! [/QUOTE]
