Checked on brass availability and price for 22-250. Can only find Laupa on the shelf at $1 per pop. Not a no go but... Might have to drop back and punt in my head: http://www.predatormastersforums.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1421750Steve Timm post, 10/29/09 Predator-Masters: __________________________________________________________ "I've been shooting the .223 Ackley for about fifteen years and totally love the round. It's possible I might have written the first ever article about the round (Varmint Hunter Issue #15, July 1996; VHA Custom Gun Number Eight, Page 56-64). Frankly, I was so impressed with the super-heavy Rifles Inc rifle that I have three field-weight rifles made and I've enjoyed them ever since. These later rifles were featured in later articles I wrote about the .223 Ackley. Over the years, I've fired a couple hundred thousand rounds of .223 Ackley and have never seen any shortcomings from the cartridge. Afield or at the bench, the .223 Ackely is a total winner. I cannot talk about it (sworn to secrecy), but the .223 Ackley came within a hair of becoming a commercial cartridge a few years ago. I've always thought that the company (that will remain nameless) totally screwed up a fabulous commercial opportunity and that a huge number of American shooters would have been enjoying the .223 Ackley today, but for the faint-heartedness of a bean-counting executive. Anyway, the .223 Ackley is a fabulous cartridge that is capable of greatly-enhanced ballistics over the parent round. The accuracy is uniformly superb and case-trimming is just about eliminated. One thing I've also noticed about the .223 Ackley Improved is that it seems to be a "better balanced" cartridge than the regular .223 Rem because the extreme spreads (in muzzle velocity) are always much tighter than the regular .223. It's quite common for me to fire twenty rounds of .223 Ackley over my Oelher 35P and have an ES of 15 fps ... that is almost impossible with the .223 Normal. The .223 Ackley is one of the few cartridges that I will own and shoot until I die. Steve Timm

If anybody has any muzzle velocities they might care to post for 22-250 22-250AI or 223AI. Thanks much.

Mr. White,
The .223 sized case can get a whole lot of schit done if twisted properly and any magazine size constraints are addressed.
I chose the 22-250 because I am lazy and nothing was required to make things work. New barrel + 75gr A-Max and I was rollin'.
I get 3,300fps with good accuracy and the 75grainers. You can get 3K'ish with those weight bullets and the .223 but that's standing on it.
If you're leaning toward a .223 and a 8" twist, you won't be disappointed. But I like the 22-250 more better. I have both.

Amazon has Hornady for 37.99 per 50.
If you are a Prime member, 2-day shipping is free.
I joined Prime last Spring and have already saved more on shipping than the membership cost. I'm also watching Deadwood and Justified plus a bunch of other stuff in HD for free.

What bullet are you using in your .223AI? Did you finally move past the mini-ball?

I didn't want to do that, but the facts of the 222 Magnum can get downright hurtful......
If I ever see your ancient face in person, I'll pli� it with liquor for the sorrow.

Agreed, have both also, running my 223AI to 2900 w/75's. The 22-250 w/75's is an entirely different animal.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
