I am thinking of getting one built from the ground up for shooting 77smk's or heavier.

1)Please talk me out of it because I have too many chamberings already! HA!

I have always been a little confused about the 22-250 action. Do you do a build on a long action? It is too long for a short action... right?

Does Remington make and sell at Brownells a 22-250 action?

What twist rate? I was reading on other forums that 1/8 is just right. But... a 1/7 works very well in a nato-556 for heavy bullets. Does the higher velocity in the 22-250 make the 1/7 a no go for some reason?

AND............

Do you get the chamber and bore chromed to lengthen throat life? Black nitride these days? Or just shoot it to death? Who does the chrome job these days?

What do y'all used your 22-250 fer?

Favorite loads and war stories... I'd like to hear them.
