Re: 1-8 Twist 22-250 to use VLD - anyone shoot this ?
My son has one on a Ruger No1V laminate with a 26" long Krieger barrel. That barrel had about 1400 rounds through it as a 223Rem match rifle, about half of them were 80 gr bullets.
He has killed several prairie dogs with it from 600-800 yards with 80gr Sierra match bullets. To date the total round count is about 2200, with some throat erosion, if he keeps it as a 22/250, we will need to have it set back an rechambered in the next couple of hundred rounds.
More likely it will be bored out to a 338 Lapua sometime soon.
Great concept, the 22/250 really needs 65-75gr bullets to reach it's full potential.
