The cost of a rechamber job and who can do it?
« on: December 17, 2008, 02:04:23 PM »
I really like the sound of this wildcat cartridge. It is the 22-243 Middlested. This round is a 243 Winchester round necked down to a .224. It is blistering fast and according to this article very accurate.

I would like to buy a Remington SPS Varmint in a 22-250 and have it rechambered to this cartridge. Do any of you have an idea what that cost of this would be and who could do it? Thanks Dale

I am a big fan of the 308 family. I do not need the extra powder or recoil the 30-06 family brings to the table. You are right the 25-06 is a great round but I just prefer the 308 family. Dale

Wow!  Looks like quite a screamer.  What would you use it for?  If varmints is your target and you don't want recoil but want scorching speed how about a 17 Rem?  Unless of course you have a 22-250 donor ready and waiting for the above mentioned wildcat.

rent the reamer and do it yourself it is easy to do and nearly foolproof, easier than cutting a thread , use lots of oil nrver turn a reamer backward they are self guiding with a pilot.under100 bucks total cost. If you ask at a shop the first words are" i'll have to buy a reamer thats a 175 dollars" (he is going to rent one for 50 bucks just like you can) and it goes up from there

WHat are you planning on using it for Dale? If for a super fast varminter, go with a slow twist, like 1 in 16 or 14". I love my 220 swift which throws a 40 Btip at 4250 fps and I think woth some load develoment I could reach over 4300. I sight it in 2.5" high at 100 and do not hold over till past 350 yards. A 22-250 AI will give you alot of speed also.

I want this to be my new Groundhog rifle. I have busted a couple out to 500 yards with my 243 SPS Varmint before I had to sell it. I figure I buy a 22-250 and have it rechambered when I can afford it. The Remington 700 22-250 Varmint does have a 1 in 14 twist witch I think will be ideal for what I want to do. I am thinking 50 grain bullets. Thanks Dale

Hi Dale
You are looking at a definate throat burner in the .22 middlestead. An overbore cartridge like that will take down a barrel throat quick. Voice of experience here, did it with a .22-250AI many years ago. And I have done the caliber you're intrested in for other guys. Then had them change barrels in as little as 150-200 rounds. Look into a .243AI or .22-250AI and shoot heavier bullets. With the right combination either will vaporize woodchucks. As I have found out over the years high horsepower and velocity=highdollars. Plus you trade longevity in both engines and barrels/actions when you go fast.
My .243AI does 3/4-1" groups at 200yrds pushing 55 grn v-max @ about 4000fps/muzzle. Not shabby for a Stevens 200 Modified.
Just my 2 cents,
Rebel49
