[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 35688, member: 376"] Sorry if I mis-attributed the bit about the BR vs. the AI or whatever. I thought I was pretty clear on the 75gr A-Max bit I was referring to M.L McP being the one I disagreed w/ as far as the reason (chrome-lined bore), not you. I apologize about the confusion. As far as the guys w/ the 80's... I'd love to see you fit a .22-250 AI in an AR and actually have it feed reliably [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] It can be done, but from what I read, it ain't all that fun. The guys running Service Rifle have no choice; the guys running space guns are opting for close to peak performance in 200/300 Rapids and acceptable performance w/ an 80 or 90gr VLD at 600. I shoot a 6.5-08, and still get whomped by any number of them. It ain't all about the gun in that game [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I've heard of a few people shooting a .22-250 at distance w/ a fast twist in Prone/F-class. No AI's that I've heard of (not that they aren't out there).
