Put a righty on layaway this morning!
Taux up, I am.
Checking to see if my barrel threading buddy could punch a chamber AI.
I really need to sell some rifles, though.

I was going to buy one, but checked the Wikipedia page for the .22-250... "It may be the fastest .22 cal but it suffers inaccuracy making it one of the worse .22s to shoot.[4][5]" Looks like I'll have to pass

LOL!
One of the most accurate rifles I've ever owned was a Savage model 12 in .22-250. It would routinely shoot Winchester white box bulk 45gr HP ammo into ~0.5" groups at 200 yards. It was stupid accurate.

His is certainly NOT inaccurate. His is the reason I am purchasing one for myself. His daughter has killed a pile of deer and hogs with the little 64 grain BSB bullet.. Tough combination.

Get back to us and confirm you were joking. I had to look, and Wiki does in fact say that.. The .22-250 Remington is a very high-velocity (capable of reaching over 4000 feet per second), short action, .22 caliber rifle cartridge primarily used for varmint hunting and small game hunting, though it finds occasional use on deer.[2] This cartridge is also sometimes known as the .22 Varminter or the .22 Wotkyns Original Swift.[3] Along with the .220 Swift, the .22-250 was one of the high-velocity .22 caliber cartridges that developed a reputation for remote wounding effects known as hydrostatic shock in the late 1930s and early 1940s. It may be the fastest .22 cal but it suffers inaccuracy making it one of the worse .22s to shoot.[4][5] Goes to show what Wiki knows...

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. Was thinking this would be a fun little burner with 77 gr Scenars with a CDS on an old spare 6.5-20 Leupold I have gathering dust on a safe top.

I've got a 1 in 7 twist barrel on a Ruger 77 Mk2... that was formerly a 243, so it has a longer mag, or isn't blocked off like Ruger's 22.250....
with a 75 grain BTHP or A Max, its a flat shooter for sure..
runs 3350s fps with bullets of that weight, seated out of the case more than the usual 22.250 mag length...and with 80 grain A Maxes, it is even more accurate...
I've got some of those 80 grain ELD-Ms on the way from Powder Valley....
Gunner.... RL 15 or IMR 4895 are two powders you will be looking for with those longer bullets...
I thought accurate and velocity would be in the 4350 range, but I was wrong...4064-4895-RL15-Varget are about in the right burn range for those bullet weights...
with that Leupold, you'll have a long range coyote getter...

I gotta say I am okay with parting with a few bucks for a company that'll listen to shooters. I think a 8 twist 22-250 is a long time comin! And yeah, it wouldn't suck as an Ackley either.. Might even invest in a little Lapua brass for the sucker as well.

My 8 twist .22-250, a Mohawk/Shilen, does really well with 80 gr. A-Max, VLD's. Also likes 75 gr.
