[QUOTE="Leathel, post: 329177, member: 20036"] I am in the process of sorting a rifle for a freind for longer shots at small animals, he currently has a std SPS varmint 22-250 that has been Ackley improved, 1:14 twist so didn't try the heavy pills but had the 55gr pills in .274 @ 100 doing 3750fps....at 3950fps it didn't group as well and a little close to preasure, Great round but he is converting all his rifles to LH so has another to LH rig to rebarrel but still tosing up between 22-250AI again or 243AI faster twist as my 1:10 wont stabalise the 105amax (As I shoot that so have the dies for both) If the mag was longer would love to do 6mm rem AI as with its long neck seals the gases well:cool: (also shoot a 6.5-6mm Rem AI ) If you do go longer barrels you need the larger profile to keep wip under controll.......6mm BR is an efficent killer and you dont get too much extra for a longer barrel so if you want a shorter rig its a handy cal:) [/QUOTE]
