I have just obtained a 26" 22-250 and I've rechambered a 24" 22-250 into an AI. I hope to wring them out this summer. I wish I had a means of measuring pressure. I'll probably be looking at velocities in the Nosler manual and using a chronograph. But for either one I'll hope to get great accuracy at near top velocity. I've not found much information on the AI, except the Nosler Manual. I guess the Sierra manual has loads too, but I don't have a Sierra manual. It looks like Nosler has a couple more grains of powder in the 22-250 AI over the Swift in a many loads with same weight bullets.

I'm not interested in using either for anything but varmints. Long range PD's will get most of the bullets from these.

I'm not interested in anything with the name "Creedmoor" except maybe a 9.5 Creedmoor and a 6.7 Creedmoor.


I prefer classic.
