[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 352432, member: 10755"] I'm running my 22-250AI in a stainless 28" barrel but with the standard 14" twist. I do not plan on using anything heavier than 60gr's. I've found Remington brass to be very good for fireforming, and it lasts quite some time as long as you don't push the envelope with it. The worst brass I've used is Winchester, got a lot of neck splits. My preferred method is the COW (Cream Of Wheat) method with a very fast pistol/shotgun powder and a twist of 'dacron' to hold it all in place, then a plug of either bee's wax or soap. I normally start with around 5gr's and work up until I have nice sharp shoulders forming, this also allows the brass to form without making a 'stretch ring' above the web which will make your brass last longer! I can quite easily get over 4000fps with 50gr BT's and very close to 3900fps with 55gr BT's. 500yrds is not difficult with this cartridge, but wind is still a major problem! gun) [/QUOTE]
