22-250 wildcat

[Varminter]

i recently aquired a 22-250 and this little cartrige has got me thinking of a p-dog popper. Has anyone ever taken the 22-250 rem. or the 22-250 AI and had it necked down to 17 caliber. If so what was this catridge called? What kind of velocities could one expect out of this one with a Berger 15gr bullet?

The .17-250 has been known as the .17 Flintstone. It is WAAAY over capacity but you can push bullets faster than they can stay together. I don't know how fast you can make them go but the 15's are not super strong and they would probably smoke before hitting the target, probably better to shoot 25gr and up bullets in that big a case.
The small caliber site to check out is www.saubier.com and ask around over there on the forum.

Thanks for the info. I thought it would be to much powder for those little bullets. That's ok......no worries. Thanks again.
