[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 2455379, member: 104002"] I've worn out three 1 in 14 twist 22.250 barrels and couldn't get the pin point accuracy from these . Only set up I might try in the future is a 22.250 made on the small rifle primer Creedmoor case My shooting friend has a Swift he considers the ultimate 22. After two field shooting trips with him he admitted my 22 PPC was more accurate and scored hits further out than he could . My friend pulled the swift apart and that barrel is now a 22 PPC. The down side of the PPC is the case head being between the small and large case head but everything else is fantastic The 222 Rem your friend suggests is just about the best 22 I have ever shot in benchrest competition or out to 350 yard field shooting. My cut off point is 30 grains powder in a 22 bore, nothing bigger. The 222 Rem Mag is the ultimate cartridge for a bolt action rifle if you want more than the 222. The 223 is quite suitable for an automatic rifle, it's designed for but the short neck limits it for longer bullets in fast twist barrels. I just finished building a 788 Remington for myself chambered for 222Rem standard neck on one of my all carbon stocks completely solid carbon under the action so it won't change point of impact ever, topped with an old 10x Lyman scope This will reach 90% of the game I will come across in my shooting patch [/QUOTE]
