[QUOTE="Guest, post: 35655"] timberflint, It's very difficult to say if your project has any downsides until we know what you intend to use this project for. As a cartridge used to fire heavy bullets, the 22-250 is excellent. I'm using it right now in a test barrel with a 7 twist for 90 grain JLK's. It will also handle the 77 and 80 grain Sierras and Bergers. Mine is a 6 groove but most will vote for the 3 groove now-a-days since they believe that throat erosion is less. Whatever you choose, it should at least be stainless steel. The 1:8 twist will be fine for the 80 grain bullets. The 90's require a faster twist. Post what you're considering about doing with your project. Regards. [/QUOTE]
