[QUOTE="STEEL SLINGER, post: 1400270, member: 42414"] I'm in the market for a .224 "Fast Twist Whizz-Bang" round myself. Not looking to scream at 3500+ fps, but a solid 3300ish+ fps with 75gr./80gr. pills in a 22" to 24" barrel. . .basically a walking varminter rifle. If at all possible I would like to stay away from fire forming (have 3 rigs now that I do so for), so press neck sizing is a plus and I want something with easy to find brass with available dies. I'm also partial to a long neck (that's what is steering me away from the 22-250AI), so something in the .280" to .300" neck length is in the mix, with some shoulders to help with the case trimming ordeal. From the research I've done all things seem to gravitate towards the 22 Creedmoor. . .I just haven't been able to locate a definite neck length. Do you guys happen to know this? And how about the talk of running loaded 22-250 brass in the chamber and fire forming, is that basically what the 22 CM is, because that would have too short of a neck for my taste. [/QUOTE]
