[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 479282, member: 29890"] The Ai is your preference but it is like a 220 swift due to case capacity it has no advantage until you use the heavy weights, except premature throat erosion. I can pass 4300fps with a standard 22-250 but accuracy begins to fall off with 40grn nbts. Its like comparing a 338 win mag to a 264 win mag, same case but the 264 has more of a bottle neck so to speak so you can run 60+ grns 4064 in the 338, try that in a 264! With that said try running identical charge densitys of RE10X in a AI 22-250 and you will hurt yourself, you might have a chance of keeping up velocity wise with compressed 4064 or 4320 but I doubt it. All I'm saying is that extra power capacity does you no good until you step the bullet weight up and use a slower powder. I think you should do a 22-250 AIwith a 1:8 twist and shoot 80grn bergers or the like. No I'm not bashing just putting it out there. [/QUOTE]
