[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 35662, member: 10"] Brian Winzor, I agree with your comments as well. THe 22-6mm AI is the ballistic Tip of the 224 Clark. Only real difference is that the Clark was designed to shoot the extremely heavy bullets whereas the 22-6mm AI was designed to shoot the conventional weight bullets. This certainly does not mean it is not well designed for such bullets though. I generally try to be a little conservative when listing expected velocity ranges for different rounds. As a gun builder, if I tell a customer that he will get 500 fps more velocity with the 22-6mm AI over his 22-250 AI, and he only gets 400 fps, there are certain folks around today that get kind of ****y about such things. Most shooters are educated enough to know that variations in barrels will prevent all velocities from being totally consistant from one rifle to another. There are some out there that will hold you to the letter of your word and demand you fix their "PROBLEM" when they get +400 fps instead of +500 fps. I error on the conservative side of things. It is this same small group of individuals that are even more satisfied when they actually beat what you tell them. SO if I predict a little low and they get more velocity then I tell them, they think they got a deal so to speak. I have yet to have a conversation with anyone on this board that would fall into this group of people but in business I guess I have just conditioned myself to be conservative. Good Shooting!!!
