[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2107944, member: 24284"] Nothing says that a 'new' .22/250 AI chamber will be compatible with brass that you already have! A Shilen Match barrel blank @ around $300 (including shipping), and a fit & chamber job for under $300 would be my choice. Shilen offers a 7.5 twist in .224, which is what I'd think you'd want for a 88g length bullet. I'd say from my own practical experience that 800yds + with any .22CF is pretty optimistic. I'll go ahead and point out that I have several clients that are using 1-7 twist barrels with excellent results shooting 55g bullets. So, that 'tight' twist doesn't completely rule out the 'lighter' bullets. [/QUOTE]
