[QUOTE="brianwinzor, post: 110027, member: 1067"] Jimm, The 22/250 AI has a Shilen SS 24.5 inch barrel with 1 in 10 twist. The barrel used to be 25.25 inches, and was chambered for the .224 Clark for 1600 shots before being set back and rechambered to the 22/250AI. Although I lost 450 - 500 fps by going back to the 22/250AI from the 224 Clark, the primary reason I did so was that the Rem 700 SA magazine length of 2.800 inches just isn't long enough for that case with the long heavier bullets. However, the Rem 700 SA works well with the 22/250AI, as it feeds smoothly, and there is ample room in the magazine to chase the lands as the throat erodes. I have just purchased a second hand REM 700 LA in 270W, and in about 6 weeks time hope that my gunsmith will have fitted the Krieger 26 inch 1 in 6.5 twist barrel and chambered it to the .224 Clark. I will then be able to try my supply of Richards 100 grain ULD's that were built on the J4 jacket. It will be interesting to see if they hold together at the anticipated velocities of 3200 - 3300 fps. Regards, Brian. [/QUOTE]
