[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 35666, member: 2852"] timberflint I am the ex-owner of the .22-.284 that brian b was mentioning earlier and the owner of the current .22-250 AI. I can tell you that the 250 is waaaayyy better than the 284! I get within 150 fps using 11 grains less powder and a 4 inch SHORTER barrel! The 22-250 AI is awesome. I have repeatedly taken fat rockchucks with it from 500 yards out to 1100 yards! I can spot all my shots without a muzzle brake and it is not temperamental. I shoot the 75 gr a-max at 3400 fps with standard deviations usually in the single digits. My load with the current lot of powder and primers is 42.5 of H4831sc in a Federal case with Fed210gm primers. One thing I really ought to mention also is that I first was shooting nosler j4's and Berger 80 vld's, but I shot several rockchucks as close as 300 yards and all they did was poke holes. I even had one chuck re-immerge from his hole 30 minutes after I had squarely hit him in the guts and he started to eat his dinner! Since switching to the a-max, I haven't lost one.
