32g 1E Slugs in .22 by Johninthecamper

[Habanero69er]

I was looking for some .22 slugs with a boat tail for better BC. Several people recommended I contact John Cripe (Johninthecamper). I wanted something in the 30-35g range for my Rainstorm-I that would fit the magazine. I was limited to 12.05mm for length. After talking to John for a while on the phone, we decided on 150 of the 32g in .218. Out of about 2 dozen randomly checked, they were all very consistent in weight +/- .02g & they were well formed. Fit & finish was excellent. Good job John!

Here is John's handy work:


Here's what it looked like after smashing into a Grainger catalog. Recovered from pages 870-900 give or take. 

You can clearly see the slug is making good contact with the bore & there was pretty good expansion. I'm going to do some chrony work later today to check BC.

Looking forward to a review
