Welcome!

Thanks for posting. Can you please clarify why you re bedded or “new barreled action” I might have missed something. Thank you.!

Generally ball powders are known to meter better than extruded powders. They were never in favor of "off the shoulder" shooters as it was thought that ignition time was greater. Never saw it tested but suspect it was true. Benchrest shooters often used ball powder.

Forgot about the joys of dealing with cloners. Disregard suppressor offer.

I did not read all the replies. In my experience the answer is: It depends. Some 22 RF barrels are simply faster than others. Many are fastest at about 16-17" depending on ammo of course. If your barrel/ammo combination is close to sound barrier in your environment you may push it over the...

Odd. Did you notice it before you cleaned it? Did you inspect the end of the firing pin? Without some damage to tip of FP I don't see how this could be a "new" issue If not new issue and FP tip is normal I wonder if the rifle has been shot a lot. The FP hole in face of bolt could be out of spec...

It is so generous of you and a couple of other builders to share these projects. Lovely.

Wondering if it could be pinned and welded?

I did not see body heat. Might have missed it. Defroster on car dash it too hot.

Be very careful heating up ammo. Lot of folks blow up rifles with ammo left sitting in the sun on a bright day.

Welcome!

Some seem to be forgetting his daughter being arrested for assault after hearing OJ say on the phone “yea, I did it, so what.”

I have been but not currently.

Welcome from Ottawa Ks. 👍

I will add this to the conversation. Rimfire accuracy is not as complex as folks here seem to make it. Think of it as a chain. The limiting factor is the weak link. It could be barrel, bedding, chambering, shooter, sights or ammo. Whatever it is, on a statistically significant sample size you...

The shorter barrel on the 22/250 would only be my choice if suppressed. If suppressed, 18-20 is fine. You lose some velocity. Still not a bad set up. Unsuppressed, it's going to be punishing.

Frank's gun was nicknamed "pear burner" as it shot out flame in low light. In S Texas durning dry times as the 1930's prickly pear cactus had the thorns burned off with pear burners so cows had something to eat.

What I have done. Tune your gas system so you are not overgassing. Limit the # of rifles you are shooting/cleaning. Use clean burning ammo. Clean as needed.

I bet a bobcat blows up with a 300 WM if any bone is touched. They are pretty soft.

Thanks! You are shooting trophy deer at night? Just curious.
