22 rem jet

@ rem jet.My question is ,is this a 222 bore like a S&W 53, or is this a 224 bore like a contender? I don't have a small,soft lead slug to slug the bore. Thanks for any help. Dave

Hunt up a small lead fishing sinker and slug the bore for the best answer...
I'll only assume it's a .224 bore......

Bore should be .222 to be in spec for the 'Jet' cartridge. Most all the rest (.221 Rem Fireball/.223 AR type rounds) are .224.

Plenty of .224 bullets out there to reload, if you find your bore to be .224. (Good chance of your bore being the incorrect size of .224!)

Opinion: I'm getting bad vibes from the H&R, as the bore may not be the correct .222.

Gotta slug it! Best, Joe

I have about 60 .222 dia. 40 grain SP bullets.
If you need/want, let me know.[8)]

Why not try a box or two of .224's or .223's and see which your gun likes best?
