[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 35685, member: 10"] Milanuk, I have to agree with good grouper about the 22-250 AI. It actually has a slightly longer neck then the standard 22-250. Of the custom rifles I have built, I have yet to have anyone have a problem with this neck length as long as they prep cases properly. I have yet to have a 22-250 average over 1/2 moa and most are runing in the 1/4 moa range at 100 yards with conventional bullets. As far as loading the big VLD bullets in this neck. It really makes no difference as long as there is adiquate neck tension and your neck run outs are controled. I also highly recommend an in-line seater to limit bullet run-out to less then 0.002" for shooting under 300 yards and 0.001" or less for extreme range shooting. As far as the BR goes, it is a fine round, especially for conventional bullet weights. It has been used with decent results by the extreme range crowd when used in barrels that will allow 3000 fps with the 75-80 gr bullets. This mind you is for paper punching and not live targets. For extreme range varminting, I can not recommend this round or the other fine small cased rounds that are extremely accurate and consistant but lack the power to effectively harvest game at extended ranges. I still say the 22-250 AI is the minimum I would recommend to a customer for hunting chuck size game out past 600 yards and even that is marginal. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
