While I've some rather exceptional fast twist 22-250AI's in the larder,I prefer the 223AI for Utility..............

Why?
Isn't the 22-250AI more of a good thing, being on the same length action and all?

Depends how much powder you wanna burn,how many rounds you want in the belly and how fast you wanna walk through tubes.
The 223AI will shoot smaller Agg's too.
While very guilty of having quite a few more,than quite a few rifles so chambered,a 1-8" 21" 223AI spewing 75A-Max steals my heart like no other................

Imperial Sizing wax and Lee dies in the same breath as "advanced loading techniques" = Priceless! Hmm, the poster doesn't know the difference between the word "tools" and the word "techniques". But he certainly can quote a senseless advertisement he saw on the television screen. I guess now we know his priorities.... .

Got one .223AI and am in the process of another build...choices narrowed down to the .22-250,the .22-250AI or another .223AI Opting for the latter, for those very reasons... Ingwe

I've had/have a rather good herd of 22-250AI's and they run the gamut in twist/length/contour,etc...as I've long been hip on the chambering(going back to the pre-LRF Days).
In broad brushstrokes,as case capacity is increased,in relation to bore size the more fickle the diameter becomes. It is simply easier to eek lower ES/SD's,in the milder mannered offerings,though few are a bigger fan of speed than I.
The 75A-Max with single digit SD,will slip conditions rather nicely and do amazing things downrange,when scooted from a modest length 223AI....................

Between you and Steelie, I might hafta break down and try the 75 A Max....he broke me down into trying the .223 AI in the first place...eternally grateful for that...

If there was something better,I'd simply use it.
Results interest me...............

After reading all these post and other material I have narrowed my choice down to 22-250AI or 223AI. Thanks for the input from all of you. It has been very helpful.
