Robert,
No, no no, It is not the 7.62x25 The .22 Reed Express is a 7.62x25 necked down to .22 caliber, with the shoulder blown forward. It equals and surpasses the .22 Hornet in performance, but with better accuracy, and easier loading. The Hornet is very accurate, but it tends to be very picky on what it wants to shoot well. The .22 Reed is not by any means picky and tolerates a wide variety of bullets and powder loaded to a wide range of velocities. Load data will be available in the form of binder pages, for now all we will release is starting data, so the hand loader can develop his loads for his need. We will be offering loaded ammunition as well.
