[QUOTE="acloco, post: 321674, member: 6137"] Because I could.....I built a 222 Magnum AI. Why? I had a 223 AI reamer, 204 Ruger brass (222 Mag necked down to 20 caliber), and a 1:8 twist Shilen Select Match stainless barrel. Using 80 gr AMax's, 3100 fps is providing excellent accuracy, very good brass life (I am not pushing it that hard), and the 80's hit hard for caliber at extended ranges. The 243/6mm's would do a bit better at extended ranges though with the heavier bullets as explained in the post above. [/QUOTE]
