[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 293232, member: 4964"] I currently have CZ varminter in 22-250, I ruger varmint in 22-250, a Winchester Coyote in 223 WSSM and a Remington Sendero in .220 Swift. I have been playing with these little fast rounds (except the 223WSSM) for the better part of 20 years. I have found with the right attention, any of the ones listed above will shoot 1/4 MOA. THe CZ and Remington will do it any day provided I can read the wind correctly. The WSSM will do it any day as well but requires FREQUENT cleaning. It is all about preference and the particular gun. The CZ is the less picky of the group. It shoots most anything really well. I could only settle on a load with the help of a Crony. The Swift prefers fairly light loads for 1/4 MOA accuracy. The WSSM likes em hot. THe Ruger just can't keep up. My point here is in my years of reloading I have learned that two different guns from the same manufacturer with consecutive serial numbers will shoot and like different things. Unless you are talking a custom gun, you are going to have to find what that particular rifle likes That extra 100 or 200 fps might be a mute point. All of my fast shooting .22 rifles will shoot. Each have their temperaments and I like different features of all of them. I don't think there is ONE king. If there was how in the heck could I convince my wife I need ANOTHER gun in my safe!
