Maybe.
But my cartridge leaves your cartridge in the dust.

I was hoping Ruger (or Nosler) would domesticate the .22-250AI or heck, even the .22-243, in a fast twist. Oh well.

Why wouldn't they offer it with a 40 grain bullet?
Why in the world would they?

Are gophers that tough now? Have you ever heard of ballistic coefficient? It does not matter how fast you throw a kleenex box, it still won't buck wind.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Plenty of slow twisted .22s out there for light bullets. Even more, heavy bullets will kill little stuff just fine..

Sure, I am still waiting for a 50 grain bullet for my .17 Fireball.
If folks want to shoot 77's at gophers thats fine with me.

I dont figure that this cartridge is really geared toward the gopher shooter...

Probably not I guess. What would it be for though?
The link above was sorta hinting at AR usage. Would there be much advantage within the constraints of the the magazine?
The .22x6.8 I am gathering parts for is for varmints and such. Sorta always figured thats what a .22 was good for.

Seems like another redundant round with no advantage over old stuff and that will be out of production in a few years. Anyone buying one had better stock up. That rebated rim means you can't make cases out of commonly available brass.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I dunno...the .22 Creedmoor I am currently having done is being set up for 80gr Amaxes, and its sole mission in life will be coyotes.
This cartridge, of course, will be different. Within the confines of an AR magazine, the 73gr ELD and 70gr RDF will be pretty fun at the speeds this should produce. A slow twist is a handicap on any cartridge, but especially on one like this.

22 Creedmoore? 22-250 AI?
80 grain in something like that sounds interesting.
I bet the boys will want a 90 grain for the 22 Nosler.

I shoot an 85 out of my 25-06 AI.
If I decide to go really heavy I might try the 90's.

That rebated rim means you can't make cases out of commonly available brass. You could turn down the rims on a 6.8SPC or 30 Remington, if necessary. Would be a pain. If it takes off in the AR platform, as the maximum one can squeeze out of it, then there will be plenty of brass around for a lifetime of shooting. If it doesn't tickle the fancy of the AR boys, then it will die a slow death.

I'd have been happy with a 22-204. I run a 6.8 AR so will be watching how this pans out. I also have a pard with a 22-6.8 from ARP and he's just starting to dabble with it.
