    Homer what barrel length, pills and speed where you getting in that 22 250 AI 1-14 twist?
    Have you ever tried a fast twist barrel on your 22 250AI?
    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

    G'Day Terminator,

    It has a 26" barrel and no, I've only ever used this 1-14" barrel.
    As I wrote elsewhere on this forum, in hindsight, I believe the .243Win would be a better Long Range (and further), varmint caliber!

    Please find attached, an image of one of the targets I shot, after running in the barrel.
    This is what I call, a Maximum Safe Working Load (MSWL), in this rifle

    It is capable of more velocity but when even I can shoot groups like this, well............
    As you can see, this rifle does shoot, I only wonder what it is actually capable of, as I'm no BR shooter!!!

    Hope that helps

    Doh!
    Homer
