[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2551840, member: 122164"] In 1989, we found an unmolested p. dog town with compass and map, 11miles wide x 17 miles long. I shot the barrel out of a Seely Masker-made Custom with a Shilen barrel in one day, 800 hard fast rounds, I don't think I missed as the longest shot was 300 yards. IMR 4064 did a number on that Shilen barrel. We started doing some research on which powders are easier on barrels, Win 760 was the winner at that time. Later on, AA2700 is the coolest burning powder made on the Heat Index chart, and the chart was not wrong in the many 22/250, AI, 243, AI, 220 Swifts, and 6 Rem and AI's that we shot out. AA2700 is in the burning rate of the 4350 area. Bad day shooting at that time due to wind was around 600 centerfires and a normal day for me was 1000, while pard hammered out 1200 per day. We carried a five gallon bucket of ammo for each rifle, about 1200-2000 packed in Quart Glad freezer bags, rolled up tight with 100 rounds per bag. We simplified things after 4 years to a couple of cartridges, 223, 6 BR, 243 AI. All chambers cut with the same reamer, headspace the same. After the first two years, we put Hart barrels on all guns as they cleaned up easier and the 416 Stainless steel sure takes the heat better than Chrome Moly barrels. Pard became a dealer for Hart barrels and we ordered them 10 at a time. When Varmint Hunter magazine came out in 1993, that put an end to our p. dog shooting. From '79-1993 we hammered dogs hard. We then focused on Ground squirrels and Jack Rabbits. No doubt that the 22/250 is an amazing round, easy to load for, accurate to 1/2" at 200 yards easily. [/QUOTE]
