Darrik, or anybody, what is the box length of this Tikka in 22-250?
I'm fairly sure the 22-250 uses the 308 mag. My notes say 2.83", plenty of room for the 22-250

Ordered a lefty today. Thanks . This should be the ultimate song dog slayer. That's my thought. I am planning on giving it the AI treatment also -- it'll be a short-fat Swift.

On average, what can you expect in added velocity by AI'ing the 22-250?

OSU- , I'm not sure but somebody here will chime in with actual data I'm sure..
My P.O. Ackley vol no. 1 calls the 22-250 AI a very good cartridge and refers to Swift load data as equivalent so I'm guessing 100-200 fps for the AI over the standard 22-250.

Ordered mine today. I'm thinking 62 gr TTSX around 3500fps should be wicked on hill country deer and hogs...

Man, I am stockpiling bullets for this one.. Really thinking I will try the 62 or 75 grain Scirocco's though.. They seem to be a pretty wicked bullet and they can get some good speeds from the Ackley case.
