Rifle or Scatter gun?

[Tracker0721]

AWS helped me a lot and showed me some good resources when I was looking to buy. Now I’m tossing around buying another! But up until the combo I just carried a rifle but with see through scope mounts or offset irons. If 2 of us were going one carried a rifle and the other a shotgun.

I use 55gr Buffalo Arms .228 bullet with 4895 powder.  I use 219 Zipper load data(keep them mild) for a guideline plus some old data from the book "Pet Loads" it does shoot well.

Thanks AWS.  I've been eyeballing those 22 Highpowers and 222Rimmed but have not looked into what to feed them.
Being able to use 30-30 brass would help.

222 Rimmed can get a little tougher than the 22 HP.  Bertram makes 222 Rimmed(spendy), you can make it from 5.6x50R Mag(brass from Huntington's) and 357 Maximum ( think they come up a scoash short but workable.
