It is roughly 40 fps per inch of barrel. So I loose 320 FPS from the 24 to the 16 inch barrel roughly.

But the big thing is if you are doing a lot of walking you don't want to carry the one with the 24 inch barrel. That is why I have the two different barrel lengths. The long barrel is one that you find a nice shade tree and lay down under it and shoot all afternoon.

I detest the dreaded red X. Imagestation seems to have an unstable link to their site, so I switched to photobucket.

So here, once again is the Browning 1885 LoWall in 22 Hornet. The scope is a Burris Mini 2x-7x. I had just taken a gopher at 110 yards the morning this photo was taken.

Hello TC hope you get this message. Hey what type of stock is that you have on your AR-15s? Is it lighter. My Varmint rig is just like that but with standard Colt stock,but custom Free floating hand guard. troll

Your 6-.284? What is the stock you have on it? It's very attractive. About the first picture, of your Rem. VLS, did they come with thumbhole stocks at one time or is the rifle one you restocked? Very nice collection of varmint rigs. Best wishes.


Hi, The names Ernie, new guy on site. The stock on that Remmy looks like one of Boyds http://www.boydboys.com/

Here is my favorite coyote/rock chuck rig! The barrel was air gauged and cryoed then set back and punched out to 22-250 IMP 40 degree, the action was totally reworked/blue printed ie lugs lapped,end of the received trued, recoil lug trued, titanium firing pin and heavier spring for faster lock time, bolt hope was removed, the face of the bolt and the head were trued. It has an adj. jewel trigger set at about 10oz with a bottom saftey and the stock was bedded/fitted to the action.

I have killed many coyotes and chucks with this rifle and it love's the coated 40gr barnes bullets! I am using 42.6 grs of win 748, win brass and fed match primers and am launching the 40 grainer's in excess of 4,200 fps.

DPH: Great looking rig you have there!
How does it shoot?
I assume you are talking about the factory barrel being cryoed, air gauged and set back for re-chambering to 22-250 A.I.?
Again let us know how it shoots please!
I have a custom Rifle built on a Remington XP-100 action and it has one of the wonderful Jewell under-lever safety/triggers on it!
I highly recommend these for folks going custom on Remington actions. It's safe, convenient and easy to use.
WOWSERS on the speed you are getting with the 40 grainers! I bet that shoots flat as a string!
Of all the Varmints I Hunt the Coyotes are the toughest to laser range without being detected or without the quarry moving significantly before you put down the laser and set up the Rifle! Flat trajectories sure aid in first shot hits on Coyotes in the wide open country I Hunt them in!
About the 22-250 A.I. cartridge - I have always admired this wildcat and have shot along side several of them!
One of my good Varminting buddies has had his 22-250 A.I. for 25 years now! He bought and formed about 300 pieces of brass for it back when he first got it and has been using the SAME brass since then! He loads and uses up his supply of brass each year - once - on Varmints and the brass has lasted that long! About 25 firings on the same brass with those speeds is IMPRESSIVE!
There is something to be said for the Ackley Improved designed cartridges besides the incresead velocities - for sure!
Wishing you continued happiness with your Remington!

Thanks! The gun as long as I'm doing my part (reloading & shooting) is extremely accurate! At 100 yds it will basically shoot a little ragged hole just as long as I don't get the barrel too hot. It has the factory barrel, I was gonna have my gun smith hang a shilen or lilja on it however after he gauged and bore scoped it he said I really should shoot this barrel out before I buy another, he said the barrel looked far better than any other factory remington barrel he'd ever seen.

The loads I worked up are quite hot and I didn't expect them to shoot as well as my other loads (50 v-max 4,050fps) but to my surprise they actually shot a little better! I have quite a few other rifles that I have had built over the years but for some reason I always' come back to this rifle, the 22-250 is a awesome varmint cartridge and really does a number on coyotes! The last one I shot at a little over 230 yds and well the bullet didn't even pass through it, basically it turned the coyotes insides into jello.

I'd have to say that for varmints this is hands down the best cartridge I have ever use ie brass life, accuracy,velocity and destructive power however my 6-284 is a very close second!!

I also have a xp-100 but it's still in pistol form, I used to shoot silhouette and the gun is chambered in 7mm international great shooting gun!

Sako 6mm PPC
Sako S491 6mm PPC single shot The rifle is fitted with a custom thumb hole stock and a 26 inch Shilen S/S Barrel. It is topped off with a Tasco 24X scope. I am still fire forming the cases, but it has shot a 5 shot 100.0 yard group of .320, so I hold high hopes for its accuracy potential on the rabbit population.

I have br rifle chambered in 6ppc. It's a stolle panda action, lilja barrel, and macmillian stock the thing shoot's like a house a fire however there's no way I'm taking that rifle hunting. I'd drop dead of a heart attack if I accidently dropped it.

What bullet you using, have you ever tried the 55 grainers?

Register at imageshack.us then after you upload your pics go to my images at the top, you will have six lines to choose from that are next to your pic, for full size images highlight and copy the top line the first part will read [img] for thumb nail pics that can be enlarged by clicking on them choose the second one up from the bottom and do the same the first portion of the line will read [url

Highlight, copy & paste be sure you copy the entire line not just a portion of it. Hope this helps!

The only projectile I use fro the 6mm PPC is 68gn ISP's. These are hand made in Australia by a chap in Coffs Harbour NSW. His name is Ian Thompson and they are absolutely superb projectiles. He has only just recently received some other length jackets and I am first in line to try the other projectile weights. His web site is http://www.geocities.com/isp_projectiles/
Every one I know who has tried them has shot smaller groups.

I have my share of varmint rifles, but I would have to say that my old friend of 45+ years is my favorite. A 1947 Win 70 K hornet that I paid $50 dollars for and stocked it myself in Southern OH curly maple. The scope is an El Paso Weaver K10 that I am in the process of replacing with a Unertl Ultra Varmint 12X, 2"
