I shot my first 22-250 spittin' 75s yesterday (3400fps), and it blew my friggin' mind. I know what my next rifle is going to be.

The bergers are an option but I have seen the 75 amax kill the sh*t out of stuff in my 223s and my buddy's middlestead. I have a hard time not using something that works that well.

They'd be my first choice but they're hard to come by right now.

yeah I couldn't find them listed in stock anywhere but I'm hoping until I get my 250 rebarreled I can come up with some.

I'm toying with the idea of re barreling a rifle into a 22-250. Thinking I would run 50-60 grain bullets most of the time. I might consider doing something a bit heavier. What twist do you guys recommend? I put a 1:9" Shilen on my 700 faux TI. Works well with the weights you mention.

Good shooting for 10 feet. Let me guess? Your inventory of 22-250's matches your inventory of ammo? Too [bleep]' funny. Travis 22-250's are for girls, get a mans gun. 338 wm
Hey!! Your going the wrongway.

Tanner That'n is a 1-9".... FF and AI loads run the 75 Amax just fine. Blew my mind too..... +2 MILs at 650ish from a 250 yd zero is stealing.

I was wondering if you still shot that rifle. The "tweener" concept is still a good one in my book.
Now with even more aplomb

Anybody make an 8" .22/250, or do you have to go custom?
What fresh Hell is this?

Custom 1-8 for sure, I had a great little Tikka in 22-250 but the 1-14 twist sucked for anything over 53 gr.
Had it been a 1-8 I would still have the gun.

I did a little poking around on the WWW, and the fastest factory twist I've found so far is the RAR at 1in10.
The .223 is a 1in8, I guess because that's pretty much standard in ARs.
