[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 668919, member: 28471"] My .223 AI's get "close" to 22-250's but no cigar. I can load up 28.5 gr's of XBR in LC brass w/ Rem 7.5's all behind a 50gr SBK for 3750. Its on the hot side so I choose to run 28.0 grs for 3675 fps. Hornady's superperfomance 22-250 w/50gr v-max is stated at 4000 fps while their standard load is 3800 fps. I don't run a 20 TAC, but do a 20 Prac for ease of use and $$. I run the 32gr Z-max's right at 4000 fps. I have been thinking about building up a .17/233 practical on AR platform but am afraid of how dirty she will get. Woodnut - I am a little surprised that you don't have feeding problems with an AR based .223 AI since the shoulder is so sharp. I have talked with a few well know AR builders that just won't go down that route because of that issue. Jon [/QUOTE]
