[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 816625, member: 52763"] LDHunter, I don't know what "the OP" is, but I was the person who originated this thread. I especially enjoy reading & pay close attention to input from a more experienced shooter such as yourself. I chose the 22-250 mostly for 2 reasons. First because I like the lighter recoil & second because I have over 30 boxes of 22 caliber bullets to shoot up. Left over from my days of being an FFL holder. I also have over 20 boxes of new 22-250 brass. I have incentive to shoot this caliber. Im also a titewad.:) The new found range I'll be shooting at has only 500 yards available. The 22-250 will suit my needs fine for this. I have a 788 Remington I purchased the first year they were manufactured with a pristine barrel. The barrel was always allowed to cool to where it was comfortable to touch between shots. I'm never in a hurry when punching paper from the bench. After a couple of years I lost a place to shoot beyond 50 yards until recently. The 70 gr Speer shot between 3/4 & 15/16 inches. Everything else was between 5/16 & 1/2 inch. All 5-shot groups. It has maybe 1000 rounds through the barrel. I have no desire to shoot competition, but I do pay close attention to everything I do for every shot I take. I chose a new Model 12 Savage as my next rifle for a number of reasons. Relative ease of changing calibers was only one of them. The added weight of the new Savage I haven't received yet was a custom order. It will have the Savage BR stock and the special order dual-port action. At nearly twice the weight of my old 788, I should be able to consider a 6mm or 6.5 mm in the future with recoil I'm comfortable with. It's quite apparent you're a 1000 yard plus shooter.
