[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 78041, member: 1920"] To all, I thought I would share how the 22-250AI did at the Jamboree. I arrived in Pierre Monday night and awoke early Tue. morning to head out to the range. When I arrived at the range I drew my shooting relays and it turned out I was in the last relay in both the modified and the unlimited so I did not end up shooting until 3:00 in the afternoon just enough time to wear off some of the adenaline. It was a beautiful day 70 degrees and overcast with a 2:00 wind varying from 2-12 MPH we were allowed 20 shots at 18 balloons 4 balloons at 107 yds(worth 25 pts.),4 at 240yds(worth 40pts.), 5 at 365yds (worth 60pts.). and 5 at 492 yds,(worth 75pts.) all balloons were aprox 3-5" in diameter. And so finally it's my time to shoot.... and I'm hoping I just fit in the norm as I make no claims to be a super shot. My spotter is a gentleman I met a few minutes before He spots for me....really great guy but He had never spotted for anybody before.So I decided to start with the 4 balloons at the 240yd. mark and managed 0 misses. then I proceded to the 365 mark and again managed 0 misses. from there I went to the 492 mark and to my disbelief I manage to take all 5 balloons with only 1 miss. So I am left with 5 shots for four ballons at 107 yds. And yes I ended up with 1 shot left over and a perfect score of 935 points and this was pretty amazing to me as know one else out of 200 shooter the first day shot a score over 800 points. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] but to my surprise all this score got me was into the finals and in the finals all shooter start with a clean slate.I drew a bench to the other side of the range which had some deep gulleys out by the 3-500 yd. area. There were 11 shooters in the finals and I ended up with another spotter who only had binocs and was giving me the wrong directions and managed to only shoot a score of 650 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] which put me at about 6th place but needless to say I still had an AWESOME day with no regrets and am planning to go back next year. I did not end up fire lapping the barrel, Here is what I ended up doing. with a cheap coated cleaning rod I pushed a small jag through the chambered end of the barrel to within 6" of the barrel,then I pre-heated the barrel and jag and then poured in molted lead which encased around the jag and molded perfectly to the rifling. Once the lead cooled I pushed the lead core 3/4 of the way out of the muzzle and then applied 600 grit lapping compound and then started working the barrel. I did not feel hardly any tight spots so I only ended up lapping about 20 strokes. I then cut a half inch off the muzzle and recrowned and then chambered the barrel to 22-250AI. Barrel break in was awesome, about 5-7 shots and the barrel was cleaning very easy.Maybe it was just a good barrel,maybe it was a combination of barrel and lapping. FWIW. here is the load I used Winchester brass with the works. 75GR. AMAX RELOADER 22 41.5grs. Federal 210 primers witha muzzle velocity of 3380 out of my 25" barrel. I also got to meet Richard schatz, a 1,000 yd world record holder with the 6mmbr dasher. He only lives about 30 miles from me and I'm hoping to get a chance to build a rifle for Him someday...maybe. I also got to meet Gordy Gritters, one heck of a nice guy! and a lot of other great guys. All in all I had an awesome time and am still on cloud 9. Thanks to all you who helped with loads and advice and such. 308nate [/QUOTE]
