[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 292283, member: 2736"] There are a lot of good 22 caliber rounds available and the 22-250 is a good one. If your looking for a 22 cal to shoot the bigger bullets there are a few that would have the case capacity for them and if your going to have it built then the bolt face is not an issue. I have a 223 WSSM and it has the capacity for heavy bullets ,The 224 Texas trophy hunter Is a 6mm rem necked down to .223 and will push the 75 gr bullets to 3750 ft/sec . It would be another good choice. Lonnie Hummel @ Hornady helped develop it and would be a good source for loads and any other info. The 220 swift will also handle the big bullets and is very accurate. A lot of the NRA high power shooters are using the 223 rem and a 1 in 7 twist for the heavy bullets with good success at 200,300,and 600yards. Wildcats have a certain mystique about them and if that is what your into, go for it. On any varmint rifle barrel life becomes an issue and if you can stand a velocity below 3000 ft/sec it will be greatly improved. J R CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
