[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 171802, member: 8947"] [b]Options[/b] consider the 22Dasher or 22/250AI. yes, these are slower but losing 100fps and gaining a substantial amount more barrel life may be a fair trade off. The difference in splat factor is only 100yds. I presently shoot a fast twist 223 pushing 75gr at 3000fps. No issue with PD sized rocks at 1000m if I can dope the air. Going 400fps faster will reduce drift a bit but you will still need to hold off. Drop will only reduce by a few mins at that distance. Way out there, no splat. A 223AI will go 3000/3100fps, the 22Dasher 3100+, the 22/250AI 3200+ with 75gr Amax. Bullets will handle these speeds with ease and fouling is not as critical to remove. Cost per shot is also reduced. My pac nor wears a 7 twist but I will not shoot heavier then 80gr Amax so an 8 twist would have been fine. Having accurate fire 5000 to 7000rds in my 223 is a nice bonus. Better then getting a new barrel 700rds after working up a load. Jerry [/QUOTE]
