[QUOTE="Tesoro, post: 1304232, member: 44340"] Hey appreciate your input. I guess I am guilty of not doing the research on velocity comparisons between that 22br and similar vs comparable 'hunting' cartridges. So there really isnt any magic case design or other that will make the same bullet go faster with less powder if pressure remains a constant! I guess old Ackley was one of the first to seek improved 'factory' case dimensions and from what I have read his most notable accomplishment was to reduce case stretching by changing the body and shoulder angles. He was able to increase velocities but at the cost of higher pressures, which I believe he wasnt able to measure back then. So the old 250 still rocks! and now you can get lapua brass for it. I will re-consider this cartridge option and even more if I can put together a 700 build with 2 rem/age barrels so I could take advantage of its performance with the small and large bullets. its a b***ch when your taste in optics usually cost as much as the rifle so the barrel switching option is appealing.
