22 br

I would set up with 75-90 gr.bullets

Id bet its got too slow of a twist for 75-90 gr bullets if its a br gun. Probably set up for 52gr br bullets id bet

I really like those old Shilen DGAs. We have one that was Colonel Maurice Kaiser's 1,000 yard rig. Probably the same vintage. It's set-up for a 30-350 Rem Mag minus the belt.

And I agree, I assume that twist is for lighter bullets. Unless it has been rebarreled, most weren't shooting heavy 22's in the 1970s.

The test rate is single shot. Could be slow according to conditions!
Sorry francis- couldnt resist

 

[g n brezinski]

22 br

rate of twist is 1 in 14...
it was a 222 until 1986.i built it in 1977 I think.would have to look up my record book I keep for it though.
the rounds through it I belive is close to 500 to 600 now.am going to have the chamber redone for lapua brass this winter.i now shoot the Remington 6 mm br brass now.

Yep. 52 gr bullets are the ticket
