[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1931873, member: 2736"] The 22-250 would be a great choice and the 788 came in 22-250 so you can buy/find magazines for for It. I would recommend a 1 in 12 twist unless you want to shoot the heaviest .224 bullets because of it's velocity. I found the best bullet for all round use is 50 to 55 grains. The 22-250 AI is a good improvement If you reload, but it doesn't need the speed improvement over the SAMMI 22-250. A 1 in 14 twist is normally used with the 40 to 55 grain bullets , and a 1 in 10 twist for use in the 22-250 and the 220 swift for the heavies The 1 in 8 is great for the slower .223 rem class of cartridges. The 6mm Remington or the 243 win is also a good choice. some are even going to the 6mm Creedmoor. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
