[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 522175, member: 26227"] I am not thrilled with the AI version of any caliber, except for the 35 Whelen AI, and only for head spacing.. I have had both 22-250 and 22-250 AI.. saw better groups with the standard 22-250. had a 243 and a 243 AI.. neither was worth a darn, have a 257 Rob.. had a 257 AI.. the AI was consistently a more finicky round than I personally wanted to deal with.. and it would still not out shoot my 257 Rob.. so I sold it. if you are wanting my opinion; here it is. since you have two 22-250's already... wild cat a 22-08. leave the taper alone, leave the shoulder alone.. neck it down to a .224". the 22-250 has a big taper.. this should make an interesting round. the 308/243 win case is thicker, has less taper, and if you do it right should send a 55 grain out at approx. 3900 FPS. have fun.
