    Twist Rate for 22-250

    I built a 250 with a 7 twist last year. Run 75 amax just below 3300. Took it to Montana a month ago. Ran both the 75s and 50 bowler bt and both were gawd awful brutal. Both shot just fine all all ranges I tried. No issues with fragmenting or accuracy at 3680 with 50s

    Show your shame: Safe Queens Edition!

    Here are 2 of mine. The VLS was a wedding present from someone that was important to me, and the gun had even more of a meaning to me. It is spotless and has a vari-x iii 6.5-20x40 sitting on top. I have shot 4 rounds through it and it now sits in the safe in a gun sock, wrapped up snug as a bug...

    YES I will be there! Thanks. We should be getting up there around 1-2? Right at end of the shoot. PM me your name BTW haha. SUIScide...that was my exact thoughts....if I burn one up in 1500 +/- rnds....at least I had fun for a bit. I really just wanted a little info before I jump in.

    20 cal bullets really don't do what I'm wanting. 80 grn bullets do. I'd be I'm pressed watching a 55gr bullet of any kind be consistent out to a 1000.

    I have a stevens 200 I picked up cheap for this purpose. I wanted to do a "budget build" After spending the kind of money I did on my 260 to have it built with all the right things...I want to see what I can do with less expensive parts and pieces put together by me. How many rds down barrel...

    Im torn what to do. I just read through your build thread for your 223AI, which I believe is exactly what my buddy is going to do. But I cant get the idea out of my head of a fast tiwst 22-250. but a 223AI would be a BLAST

    Thoughts on 22-250AI Fast Twist?

    So realistically is im not out burning down the woods with it I would be able to see better barrel life? Honestly I may hunt with it a little, but I would probably just play around at the 1000 yd steel matches we shoot. So getting hot would not be a normal thing.

    Brass life I can understand with higher pressure, but im having a little bit of trouble understanding the barrel life part? As stated by someone else here, if my 1-14 shoots 50s out to 3800ish then why does a 80gr going 3200ish burn barrels faster? Or does it? A buddy of mine explained it like...
