I finished my 22-250 build today with 1&8 twist. I used a Left Hand 700 action and a Shilen #4 Select Match SS Barrel. I chambered the barrel last week, cut to 25 inch with 90 degree recessed target crown and bead blasted the barrel. I have been waiting on the Boyd Classic Stock which came yesterday . I open up the barrel channel for the # 4 barrel and the recoil lug cutout for the Holland recoil lug. I glassed bedded and floated the barrel. I replaced the trigger with a LH Timney 1.5 to 4 lb straight trigger which i set at around 2 lb's . Scope is a Leupold 4.5 X 14 30 mm with Leupold Varmint Reticle . My starting load will be the Hornady 75 gr V-Max with H4350 in Lupua Brass and i will go from there. This should make a great calling rifle . I love being able to build my own rifles with no wait having to sent to someone else to do the work.

Bea, a sharp rifle there.. Hope your venture with the fast twist and 75 gr. Horn.'s works out better than mine did.. Nice to be able to do you own work.. I have NO skills in that direction.. Great job..

If the 75 gr A-Max's don't work then i will try the Nosler 60 gr BT.

Bea,
If the 75 a-max doesn't repsond well, I'd strongly advise trying the new, 69 or 77 tipped Match Kings. My 1:8 x-bolt didn't like the a-max with any load I tried, but immediately starting printing little bitty groups with the 69 tmks.

Bea,
Nice rifle and good luck with it. You don't hear of too many folks (at least here) using Shilen barrels. My LGS does, and he's putting a heavy fluted #4 on the 6.5 Creedmore he is building for me.
