OK ...
I have a 1 in 9 twist barrel on a Savage 223, that is at my disposal. I will be using the bolt and action from a 243 and the barrel and stock from the 223, to make one rifle and then later I will be building another one (17 Remington) from the left-over parts as money becomes available.
I want to build a faster shooting 22 caliber that I can use for multiple forms of hunting... A 22-250 doesn't quite get it as I need a little heavier bullet (60 - 70 grains)at around 3900 fps on the mild side /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif , or faster if I so choose
..
I want it to be reliable in feeding so I am hesitant about the AI type rounds.
One round that I have looked at is a 22-243 but I don't know where to start with this wildcat?????
Another is a 220 Swift but that would require a rework of the box magazine..
So let's hear it... What would you recomend.......James L.
