[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 1434156, member: 75397"] The 22-250 is a great caliber but that is not what I want. A 22-250 is only made to shoot up to 80grain bullets with with a 1-9 unless you get the AI with a 1-6.5 a which is what you need to stabilize 90’s is what I read a little on, yes I could get 90’s but I don’t reload and I doubt there is any factory rounds loaded that high. You also would need to change barrels for a different twist if you wanted to shoot lighter bullets in the 40-55 grain because I doubt a 1-6.5 will do good with those, that’s why I have a .223 as well. Now the .224V is made for the heavier bullets and will have better ballistics, barrel life and I won’t have to reload to get any of that out of a .224. Also if I ever wanted to use it in my ar, there it is again, it’s the better solution for me in me building a bolt gun in this caliber and also it’s different, there is not many .224V bolt guns out there in this caliber yet and I bet it will prove to be just as good if not better than a 22-250 in the long run. For me this is what I want, probably don’t NEED it but it’s what I want because for me it makes since to have such a versatile cartridge that can do everything a 22-250 can do and then some. The .224V may not be as fast or flat shooting as the 22-250 but neither is some other great rounds that are just a good. [/QUOTE]
