Author Topic: 22 hornet to 22-250 (Read 416 times)

Is it safe and possible to hand ream a 22 hornet to a 22-250 assuming head space is correct? If not where can I get a 22 250 barrel? If a hornet is converted will the rate of twist work?

I think the 22-250 barrels are available through the barrel accesory program. Just give CS a call and see what they tell you. Ask for Jennifer.

just my opinion, but...

I'd purchase the 22-250 barrel from NEF, then if you're happy with it-sell the 22 Hornet to offset some of the cost. I'm sure one of the guys here will jump on the offer.
