Ideally Hornady bring out the 22/250 Creedmore next, basically similar to the 22/250 Ackley with more efficient case. Make good cheap ammo and brass, firearms makers rush to build 1:7 & 1:8 twist factory rifles and becomes the most popular cartridge of 2020, although not much changed since 1933 :-).
Had a couple and currently a Mod 700 Rem, mostly used on goats but have shot fallow and a few reds, they are fat shooting and deadly out to about 350 - 400 yards but do lack in stopping power out far. As a goat or small game rifle they are very efficant. My load is 55 gr Noslar BT and 36 grs AR2208 at 3600 fps.
It already exists @jackson21. The wildcat .22 Creedmoor is starting to get some real traction in the states and its only a matter of time before it is commercialised.
Just...say...the...word
Has anyone seen or owned a super lightweight 250 ? Just wondering what is possible

Ruger Predator @ 19" with Oceania Suppressor is pretty darn light, and handy length, the Bushnell 4.5-18 LRHS weights it down a bit.
Intend to end up with a VX5 3-15 Firedot and ballistic turret on top will be nice rig when get around to it and drop weight back again. The big zoom on the Bushnell is nice for the neck shots.
Love my Sako 22-250. Couldn’t get the 60gr partitions to shoot in the 1 in 14 twist. It’s lethal out to 300 with Sierra game king 55gr SBT, 36.5 gr Varget at 3500 fps, mostly sika and fallow, the odd red. Mostly straight down dead, close in try for neck or head, further out chest.
Hmm now you’ve got me thinking, would save changing the bolt face. Is this something that @Kiwi Greg does?
Had a RugerM77 MkII for years, 55g Sierra SBT all day long 200m headshots on Fallow no issues.
I sold it as I want to throw bigger pills.
Built a .22-243 instead and it is a beast, 75g Amax or Scirocco lethal, just doing load development at presentand I like...
That said .22-250 Ruger popped up the other week so have one again...
