Feets / Collection / My build Snagged a Drilling!

Always wanted a drilling, but was waiting until I found one with non-obsolete calibers. Safe to say, the second I saw this one, a JP Sauer and Sohn in 12GA-12GA (2-3/4”) and 222 Remington (and a scope no less), I snapped it up quick. Handloaded my first batch of 222 a couple hours later. Excited to test it out next week and see how it shoots!

Give us a range report OP!

Also I have a 788 in .222. Took a few deer with it as kid. Totally useful caliber. Too bad about the ammo situation but congrats nonetheless! Very cool OP.

Absolutely I will! I’ll even post a video of firing it as well!

I’m actually happy about the ammo, since 222 is cheap to handload for and I just started handloading rifle rounds as of last week with 223 (I load straight wall pistol for antiques and lever actions mainly). So truthfully, the ammo is not a problem since the components are easy to get (surprisingly cheap), and I’m enjoying the new avenue of handloading at my disposal!

No trouble at all! Stay tuned as I’ll be posting it shooting either middle or end of the week :)
