[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 890452, member: 22069"] My experience is with the standard 22-250. I started with a 14 twist barrel and went to a 12 twist in frustration. I like the 12 twist a lot better. Where the AI is concerned, I have wrestled with the same question myself. I would think the answer would have a lot to do with how you intend to use the rifle and what other rifles you own. If I were to build an AI, I would definitely go with an 8 twist and shoot bullets like the 75g AMAX. For me, though, the rub is that I also own a .243 and various 6.5's. Yes I can go with a fast twist 22-250 AI and shoot heavies, but that just puts me at the lower end of 6mm type performance. I still think a fast twist 22-250AI has a lot of cool factor going for it and I will probably wrestle with the question again when it is time to re-barrel. Given the other rifles that I have, though, I just have a hard time coming up with a reason to do it other than,"Hey, it's cool!" [/QUOTE]
