Since you are considering what chambering and since the cost of a good barrel and smithing are not cheap you may wish to evaluate an overlooked wildcat, the 220 Howell. I rebarreled a No1 to this chambering, 26", and find that it developes velocities equal to the 22-250 but at significantly reduced chamber pressure. This equates to longer barrel life and longer brass life. My Howell now has 3,000 rounds down the tube and a good look with a bore scope shows little errosion, accuracy remains superb and the whole project has been mega fun.
My 1st post, hello all.
I am interested in the 220 Howell. I currently have a 22-250 Rem Stealth with a little throat erosion. I am going to have the barrel set back and rebored to 22-250 Akley Improved.
Question: Can I rechamber it to the 220 Howell? Or is the action too short?
