| Warning! Notes: Standard twist: 16". The .22 ICL Gopher is an "improved" version of the .22 Hornet similar to the K Hornet, and is the smallest of a line of "improved" cartridges. The ICL line closely resembles the older Ackley line of "improved" cartridges. They utilize the minimum body taper and sharp shoulder principle to a slightly greater degree and probably represent about the maximum for these two characteristics, sample fired cases showing about the same taper to the inch as the Ackley line, but a 45 degree shoulder, instead of the Ackley 28 or 40 degree shoulder angle. Loads recommended for the K Hornet can be used in the ICL .22 Gopher. (Handbook for Shooters & Reloaders/Vol. 1 - P.O. Ackley, 1962) NOTE: USE THIS DATA WITH EXTREME CAUTION |
