[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 771648, member: 25383"] before I'd do a 22/.243 or the 22-250AI, I'd take a seriously look look at the 22 Jaybird!! Better case design means better barrel life and accuracey as well. The Jaybird case is pretty much an improved 22-250 based off a .243 case. The over all length is 2.00" (this is great when factoring in fire form case shrinkage). The shoulder deminsion is 1.550" and the neck length is .30" with a 35 degree shoulder angle. Hogdon lists loading data in their #26 manual. The 22/.243's are well known barrel burners as well as some others based off that case with a very short neck length. The twelve twist barrel kinda limits you to 60 grain bullets and lighter in weight, and this round is perfect for you. Plus knowing it's a Kenny Jarrett design tells me it's a good one. I'm going to rechamber a Savage barrel in this caliber, and may even do one in a 6mm version when my 6/250AI barrel finally goes south gary [/QUOTE]
