[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 171816, member: 313"] "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." Slower by a 100 ft/sec would be a good trade off but it isn't what I have experienced. My favorite load in the 22-243AI was 48.2gr RE22 under the 75gr A-Max (moly) in a Lapua case. My average velocity was 3,668 ft/sec and case life was reasonably good. Accuracy was excellent. That would be 570 ft/sec faster than the velocity you posted for the 22Dasher using then same bullet. All rifles are different but this has been my findings with the 22-243AI. The 22-243AI, and similar varients, have been used to compete at the 1,000yd BR matches @ Williamsport. They are said to have faired pretty well in their day. I have found the 22-243AI to be almost as much fun to shoot as my no frills .221FB. [/QUOTE]
