50 years ago, the tiny toy-like .222 Remington was the best cartridge for benchrest shooting. Cartridges like the .22 PPC and the .22 BR Remington are available today and they are even smaller and shorter. They are definitely better for improved accuracy. Looks like smaller is the better!

First time, I'm hearing about .22 BR Remington not hitting it right. It sure works for me alright.

The 22 BR and the 22 PPC both are good. In fact, better than the 223 Remington. Excellent accuracy at any distance.

I got this info from internet. The 22 BR is a factory wildcat. Brass from the Remington 6mm or 7mm BR cases can be used. This or the special Remington or the necked BR cases. The latter ones have the small rifle primer pockets.
What delights me the most is the info that 6mm or 7mm BR cases brass can be used.

It should be done in stages. Not to go directly to 6. But, 7, 6.5 like that. A Forster inside neck reamer is recommended.

i believe i would look into Lapua brass very good brass very little prep work good quality brass .Another source if you dont like prep work is Hoeh Sales,Inc. You call tell him caliber , neck size example ,I would call him and order Lapua ,6ppc brass and i would tell him it was a .268 neck. He would turn the neck down for me and send . Its a little expensive 6 ppc brass is $185.00 per 100 ,30 br is $209.00 per 100 and 6br is $175.00 but to me it's worth it.

Lapua brass is really good! You can't go wrong with it at all! My buddy has a 6mmbr and started using the Lapua brass and absolutely loves it! If you are reloading start with Lapua brass and go from there you won't be disappointed I promise! As far as benchrest shooting from what I know the 6mmbr is king right now. That's what the top shooters in the world are shooting nowdays. You get the same distance as the .308 if not more and you get half the kick and great accuracy!

Yes 6br is a good 1 , the 6ppc is the king in the 100-200 yd BR games .And the 6 x 47 Lapua aint no push over in the long range 1000 yd . Check out 6mmbr.com , 6br is great at 600 yds.

I am needing to replace my R1800 and am considering the R1900 but I would like to know where to find the ink volume of the cartridges. The R1900 cartridges cost less than the R1800 ones which makes me think they have less ink.
I have seen ink volumes mentioned for some of the larger printers but have been unable to find the info for the R1800 and R1900.
Is there some place to find this info. Epson's site does not give this info.
I will not buy the R1900 if it has less ink than the R1800 because I am tired of wasting ink when I have to replace only 1 or 2 cartridges because of the recharging cycle that the printer goes through.
