Set up a .200 steel plate at 50 yrds, here's what it looked like.

Was that a Centurion load or an old Remington one?

This has been posted before, but if you want to see some million-frames-per-second video of bullets impacting objects, go to youtube and look for a video by Werner Mehl.

That was Centurion in the white box.

It's a much more devastating round than either the .22WMR or .17HMR. Eagle view should be out with their new bolt action rifle in the near future, if they aren't already. Sure wish CZ would have gotten their act together with their version.

Also Centurian is supposed to have more loadings avialable, but still not the heavier bullet they will need to be as accurate as the original 37 grain. My take is you will need a slower twist barrel to stabilize the 30 grain as well as the old Remingtons did with the 37 grain.

I still have not shot the last of the 5mm Craig loads I found in my reloading stuff so I can change the bolt back to rimfire on my 2nd 592M... need to do that one of these days.

.22Mag RWS 40gr FMJ same plate same distance.


Since I couldn't borrow one I had to go out and buy one, proud owner of a .17 Savage SS thumbhole. Anxiously awaiting the UPS guy to bring me my scope.
