[QUOTE="north of 53, post: 157962, member: 8510"] [b]22-250 witha 8\" twist[/b] Well I went and did it. I took my old 788 22-250 into a smith to see what we could do about the barrel. I was not sure if it could be just set back a little or would need to be replaced. Well he took one look at it and said he has not seen many barrels that had been shot out more than this one. I told him I had thought that might be the case as it is over 30 years old and has over 3000 rounds through it, he thought closer to 5000 and he could be right. So now it is getting a new 28" barrel with a 22-250 A.I. chamber and a 8" twist. I am planing on shooting some of the Berger 75& 80 grain VLD bullets. I was wondering if anyone has tried them in a 22-250 A.I. If they have, what kind of velocity and accuracy they got out of them. I would also be interested if anyone can tell what happens if I was to shoot some 50 and 55 grain bullets in a 8-1 do they hold together if you push them up over 36 or 37 hundred. I know there are many other ways I could have gone with this gun and even got a new gun cheaper but then it would not have been my 22-250 from my youth. It is a bit of a project that should be back to me in about 6 weeks. As always I thank you in advance for your input. [/QUOTE]
