[QUOTE="surfr716, post: 2437556, member: 86450"] If you're looking at a heavy barrel 22-250 ai I strongly recommend building a 22 creedmoor instead; all the velocity, increased powder capacity, none of the fireforming. Brass can be sourced with proper head stamp or just take 6 creed and neck it down, no neck turning, no mess, just neck and load. Drop a 1-8 tw barrel on it, run ai mags, and build a load the rifle likes. Mine prefers the 73 gr eld x at around 3450 your mileage may vary. this is mine here. I took a factory 1:9 tw 223 barrel, rechambered it to 22 creed, threw it in a mdt chassis, turned down the trigger weight and was off to the races. first 5 shot group measured .53 inches at 100 yards. My next barrel will be an 8 twist just so I can run some of the heavier bullets, the 9 twist stops stabilizing right after the 80.5 gr berger. [/QUOTE]
