what .22 Pcp for slugs?

[harrympope]

I'm primarily a break barrel guy for airguns and powderburner guns I cast all of my bullets.I've been casting about 40 years and have more molds and equipment than I'd like to admit.
I'm looking to cast bullets for a .22 PCP for target shooting.I'd prefer to use .223-.224 if that's an option.
I have an Omega Compressor and CF Great White tank from my big bore experiment so I'm set for air.
Suggestions?

For that size you'd be looking at the Huben K1

I'd almost thought of fitting a rimfire .22 barrel to a Texan .257.

You could also likely get a custom TJ barrel tailored to what you need.

I use 22rf barrels for slug shooting. Mostly in my complete builds but I do have one in a Leshiy2 with a bored magazine. It shoots great.

With air, they like to be sized close to groove diameter or they use up some power. I have had good luck with .221-.222.

I wish more slug manufacturers offered the larger 22’s. I have made molds for casting and they do as good as cast does though.

Good luck in your quest.

I have two custom heel bullet molds for .22lr bullets.I had them from when I was experimenting with forward seating them in a 22 Hornet barrel followed by primed case.I have size dies from .221 to .228
thanks for the info. Maybe I'll just build one.Heck I have a 1-14 .224 Douglas that may be interesting.

I believe one of the members was using Brownells liners bonded to carbon with extremely good results. For very long range, probably a Texan as you said.

Thanks for everybody's input. I may run down an old .22 barrel and try to find a texan and see what I can come up with.

I think your other option would be another casting mold made for air rifle bores. That way you could get into just about any make/model of air rifle. I know a casting fiend doesnt need much reason to buy another mold hahah.
