I have a 22-250, 223ai and a 22 creed. The 250 hasn't been shot in probably 4yrs. I run 80gr eld in the 223ai at 2950fps and 90gr Berger or 88 eld in the creed at 3150fps. The creed can run those bullets at 3350fps but my barrel is a 7 twist so I'm playing with fire on over spinning the bullets...
The action certainly has the potential if the desire, time and money is acceptable. Look at what Mike builds at Tacops. They aren't exactly a 700 except maybe a shell of one.
Mike your reputation is extremely well known so I say this with the utmost respect but you are literally the only person I've heard complain about cs at impact.
Shot big matches for 4 years with tons of 1 days and haven't rolled one yet. I've heard guys say it happened but never seen it or experienced it.
Which podcast? I shot with Tate several times this year and he was running what seemed like a different scope each match.
A couple of those OG foundation runners do have some pretty big bear paws for hands though. If John Kyle would just add more palm swell like the manners have I'd be running them over the rest.
