[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 132369, member: 10"] Iron Worker, The 22-250 AI with heavy bullets can get useful velocity gains in barrels out to 30" especially with fast twist barrels and heavy bullets. Keep in mind if you want to use the heavy VLD bullets. Take special care to select a rifling design that is bullet friendly for the velocity range the 22-250 AI can produce, In some twists and especially with 3 groove barrels, it can be more then the bullets can handle and in a long barrel this would only get worse. If your shooting conventional bullet weights, I would not recommend much over 28" at most, just not needed with the burn rate of powder you will be using with bullets up to 60 gr. With a long barrel you need a bit more mass to retain barrel rigidity, this should start a stir with a couple out there. Bart B, where are you my friend!!
