[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1173910, member: 22069"] Now we are in custom barrel territory, which significantly alters the equation. Based on my own load work with 69 SMK's in the 22-250, I estimate that it is possible to push a 75 AMAX, for example, to between 3400 and 3500 accurately from a 22-250 with a 26" barrel. Doing that radically transforms the 22-250's capabilities. However, if one is going to the trouble of re-barreling in order to increase performance, it would seem to make more sense to opt for something in a 6mm at that point, with the necessary twist to stabilize the more streamlined 105+ grain 6mm bullets. When a fella is just trying to figure out how to get the most from the 22-250 he has, the 53 VMAX is about as good as it gets until it is time for a new barrel and is perfectly adequate for 'yotes well beyond 400 yards.
