Title: 22-250 AI with a fast twist barrel
Post by: JJB11B on November 06, 2021, 07:17:33 PM: Thinking I want to play with running 77gr + weight projectiles out of a 22-250AI I have a lot of brass from years of owning several 22-250’s fire forming of hydroforming this brass would be super simple. That’s why I’m thinking of 22-250 AI over something like 22 cheetah or 22 creedmoor. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Just sounds like a great long range toy and coyote gun

just depends on if I can find it when I need it. I’ve seen 22-250 Lapua brass intermittently but I have. A lot of 1x fired stuff that would at least get me to the range

I built it before the 22cm was around, I probably would have went that route if I were building now. Both great cartridges though.
