[QUOTE="backwoodsshooter, post: 3095536, member: 117047"] this is my opinion and just what i've gotten from reading around over the past years. i'm a little bias as Harrison from AR15 Performance had the 224 predator (223 projectile, 6.8 brass) that was a decent shooter but even he knew what it couldn't do at distances. i wanted one but he stopped making barrels for it a while back honestly, i think it was overhyped and "under delivered", but it also came out during the hype of the 6.5 creed. everyone wanted to have the accuracy of the 6.5 creedmoor but it just couldn't do it. i do remember there was an issue when the first batch of barrels came out, they didn't give it enough twist to stabilize the heavies. that left a bad taste in a lot of folks mouth. On top of all that it was finicky to load for, factory ammo done ok then the 22 creedmoor came out, and honestly i think the 223 AI out shoots it also. Not saying this is the gospel but a poor attempt to form coherent thoughts on info i've forgotten over the years. [/QUOTE]
