Rebarrel 22-250

Sewwhat89,

Basically they are all in the same class case capacity wise. Benefits of the 6-250 is you can cold form brass and generally get very quality accuracy without fireforming cases.

There is plenty of case capacity to get a 105 to 107 gr VLD or ULD up to near 2900 fps and for 1000 yard shooting this is plenty for an easy shooting, long throat life rifle.

Only drawback is that there is some case stretching that may occur with top load levels. if you neck size only, not a huge problem and seldom are these rifles run to the red line, accuracy is generally a bit off that level of pressure so this is not a huge concern but it does happen with this case design.

The AI version will get you another 100 fps easily and eliminate any case stretching issues but again, your back to fireforming cases.

Between the 6-250 and 6 BRX, take your pick, both will get you what you want and both will easily reach 1K with fine accuracy.

Good Shooting!!

Timberflint,

I was accurizing BJs receiver the other day and thinking over that rifle project and began thinking of how your little black beauty was doing for you. Was going to drop you an e-mail and ask but you beat me to it.

Glad to hear its shooting well already!! I suspect 1K will not be a problem with that rifle [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!

I always tell people its neat to see your bullets land on target but with your rifle, you can actually see the bullet hole form with very clear detail. Very FUN rifle to shoot. In fact there may be one in the Allen Herd here soon as well.

As easy as the 6-250 is to load for and the performance it offers, its really hard to beat for a heavy bench type rifle.

Keep us posted on the results when things warm up. We are supposed to hit 22 below tonight and 35 below tomorrow night, I hear you about cold, nasty weather!!

First of all thank you for the info, certainly good stuff to chew on.

The Kimber is the longmaster VT model which for the average guy it shoots darn good but I am looking for some thing better.

One thing I failed to mention is recoil in reference to bullet impact. With that being said, I own a .243 Browning Micro, Tikka 7mm-08 and a full custom .257 Weatherby. One of my objectives is for my daughter to shoot with me but have the rifle be mild enough for her to see the bullet impact the critter. Even at 13lbs, my 22-250 has enough jump to throw her off target.

.204 maybe? Bolt face is not going to work without a replacement bolt... O'well I guess I'm after another rifle

I'm personaly leaning towarss the 6mmBR as the caliber for a short action Ruger I have , I'm planing on a 24" 1-10 twist for shooting up to 80gr bullets , I'm gonna use it as a light weight deer gun and plinker with the 55gr V-maxes

No doubt there Bubba I would take a very close look at the quick twist 22/250 AI.
