Anyone looked into these yet? I have been reading and about the only barrels I can find right now are AR stoner (midway house brand) that are 18" long. They are $140. $140 seems like a red flag to me. No way that barrel can be very accurate at that price.
Also been reading that with 18" barrels you are not gaining much velocity over a regular .223. Not even close to what Nolser has in their marketing materials. They probably use 24 or 26 in barrel to get their numbers. I guess there is never a free lunch. White oak armament are in the process of making barrels for them. 18" thru 26". They would be the way to go, I have head several of their barrels over the years and they were hammers. Very tempted to get a barrel. Maybe a 22" white oak. If you could get 3000 fps with 75 grain bullets, or 3150ish with the sierra 65 grain game kings. That would be a sweet setup IMO. |

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

I thought about it, since I divested my 22-250. However, it would probably make more sense for me to get a 224 Predator. Either is a handloading proposition, but I am already set-up to deal with a Grendel case. If you already have 6.8SPC mags and bolts, 22 Nosler is probably a good choice.
I am not sure I believe their velocity claims, but that will be all verified soon enough. ILya

It looks like the case is rebated to the .386 so it uses the same bolt as 223. I do have a bunch of pri 6.8 mags, which is another reason i kinda want one.

I do not have anything 6.8, but I have a bunch of Grendel stuff.
I was thinking of setting up a rifle with a quick removable handguard and two barrels: 6.5 Grendel and 224 Predator |
