[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1503949, member: 27307"] I suppose it really depends upon how you nitpick the term [I]'basically'[/I]. The basic differences between the two cartridges is the shoulder angle and the case capacity. Now add in the operating pressure limits used by the powder manufacturers for load tables and the difference begins to increase. But in this day and age, there are wordsmiths who thrive on using any little variable to mitigate a real difference. In my opinion, and I stress opinion, even though I've shot the 22-250 AI for 20+ years at least and the 22 Creedmoor for 2 years, the AI lags behind the Creedmoor by a difference of 150 to 200 fps using the same bullet. Since I'm most interested in the effects on prairie dogs and such, that is a significant difference for my intentions.;):D [/QUOTE]
