I sent friend and CBA member Bob Mills of Colton Oregon some of my 225662 Hollow points and solids(cast of linotype) to try in his 222 Rem 40X benchgun.He shot the solid without lube and other than the first 5 shot group all other 5 shot groups at 100 were either a touch over,or a bit under 1".A total of 5 groups were fired after the first warm up group.He then added lube to the bullet and the first group had the same point of impact as the unlubed bullets and grouped MOA as well.Velocity was 1750 with this load.He has been experimenting with other .22 cal cast bullets with no lube at 2700 FPS and is getting about 1” at his 50 yard range and no leading over a long term of near 100 shots.He has also shot the little 36g 225107 @ 4000 fps with no leading (or accuracy he tells me)but it also cannot be found to lead the bore and does actually print staight on the target..Groups fired with lubed bullets following the hi velocity loads fall into the standard point of impact as before even after the abusive procedure.I just figured I'd let people onto what i thought was a pretty interesting phenomenon with 22 caliber cast bullets.
