[QUOTE="joejo, post: 421710, member: 26396"] I haven't seen much on here about the 22-250 or 220 swift or even the 223. Anyway i broke into the long range shooting with a 22-250 and with limited funds I am still shooting it, until i can build a 6.5x55. The 22-250 in my opinion is great, low reload cost, no recoil, and just plain fun to bang targets at what I call long range. I had alot of work done to the gun over the years, but this year was a complete overhaul. I have worked my way out to 800 yards with the gun, and am very satisfied with it so far, but the shots are just never far enough to be completely satisfied. At 600, i can group 5 shots under 4 inches, with little to no wind, and at 800 its still sub moa most of the time. Anyone else shooting small caliber? What gun/cartridge? What typical results are you having? my specs rem 7 action factory stock with way too much work, pillar and action bedded, lead filled butt, steel reienforced front stud, lop increased 1.25 inches. ( i only did this because i had a hard time finding a stock for the 7 action that would fit my barrel) 24" shilen 1-9" very heavy countour not sure what # too heavy though. most of the factory stock had to be hogged out rifle basix trigger set at 12oz 6-18 leupold that i sent back to have a mil dot reticle installed and their m1 turrets shooting 33 grain rl 15, rp cases, cci primers, and berger 70grn vlds [/QUOTE]
