[QUOTE="mannup1515, post: 3067278, member: 106897"] I just want to throw this out there… I had a savage 112 I bought back in 1995 chambered in 22-250… Wanted to get with the times so I had that same barrel punched out to 22 creedmoor… I only have a 1-12 twist but I fireformed all my 22-250 brass to 22 creed… And it was plenty accurate (3/4 moa)fireforming for prairie dogs to 400 yards… I am shooting 55 Sierra blitZkings and 60 vmax through it… I know the 22 creed is based off different case but it is basically a 22-250 ackley with a 30* shoulder… The 22 creed chambering solves the headache of figuring out the throat length you need for long bullets… It’s already setup that way… Any short action should work… I would get a setup with AICS mags… Maybe do some steel competitions on the side… The 60 vmax fireforming you can run with varget going 3550 out of a 26” barrel… A lot of people run 20” barrels suppressed with the 22 creed That length would make things a lot easier as a truck gun… They still get great velocity… Fireformed 22-250 cases if I remember right are a little bit shorter than true 22 creed brass but you never have to worry about trimming and there is plenty of neck length to hold the bullets… just a brainstorming thought… I wish I had a tighter twist for the heavier bullets but this setup only cost me rechambering of 250$ with the gunsmith… [/QUOTE]
