22-250 AI wow!!!!!
« on: March 22, 2009, 07:55:43 AM »
i've playin with a mauser project in 22-250 AI for a while , but at last i couldnt take it any longer i had to have a handi chambered in it to . so while i still had the reamers i took my 223 ultra flueted , at shot well as a 223 BTW, and reamed it out to 22-250 AI . i took it to the range this mourning with some winchester white box 22-250s and shot three five shot groups around .75" before the wind picked up and i headed to the pistol range. i'm going back monday mourning for finish fire forming my brass, with .75" groups with factory i can't wait to see what it does with hand loads.

well i threw my charger for my camera  when i was leaving iraq by mistake  so it might be a while.


tim: while i was in iraq i decided that i was fed up with paying for other people to biuld me a custom rifle once a year so i bought a lathe and started doing my own rifles for me and a few friends , i've made five since i've been home. my wife about killed me tho i dropped a lot of cash into getting everything going here i thought all i need was a lathe turns out i had to buy a lot of stuff just to get going.

mitchell:  I have a bunch of odd ball chamber reamers, so if you are looking to chamber something let me know and I will be happy to loan you a reamer for it.  I may also have a couple of barrels you could use for projects, I will look around.  I think I have:  7X57 Mauser, .270, 30-06, 35 Remington 22 Hornet, 30 Carbine, 32-20, 300 Savage, 357 Herrett, 256 Win Mag, 17 FB, could be a couple of more.  I also have some Shotgun barrels on the way, I may even send you one and a rifle barrel for a "Stubbing Kit" to play with.  Larry
