[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1835101, member: 69478"] It depends on what bolt face you have now like others have suggested. I’ve had experience with both cartridges. I have loaded and shot a few 22-250s but only one .223 AI. All of the 22-250s were slow twists with 50-55gr bullets in the 3650-3800fps range. Very flat shooting and drops varmints on the spot. My cousin built a custom .223 Ackley with an 8 twist Krieger and it’s an awesome little rifle. He’s pushing 75 ELDs at 3000fps using Varget in Lapua brass and it’s amazing. We’ve made hits out to 700 yards on a deer’s vitals sized steel plate and every range in between. Both cartridges are great choices. If I just wanted a plinker and a fun Varmint rifle, I’d do a .223 Ackley. It’s cheap to shoot and deadly. [/QUOTE]
