Think hard about the 6mm/250. Just a straighforward neck up of the 22/250 case. Same shoulder angle and position as the standard case. I find that it dramatically outperforms my 22/250. My wife's rifle has a 1:10 twist, and she normally shoots bullets in the 65 to 75 gr weight range (approx 3300 to 3500 fps). Easy to load for, superb accuracy, and standard dies from Redding. | |||

If you're rebarrelling anyway, why not stay with 22-250 in a faster twist barrel? You already have the dies, brass, etc... Redial "Greatness without Grace is mere Vanity" - Hank the Cowdog | |||

I just rebarreled my 22-250 and went with a 26" barrel with 1-9 twist. I wanted to shoot the 60 & 69 grn bullets for varmints. This twist will shoot the 50 & 55 grn bullets OK if you don't push them to fast. I tried some Hornady SPSX 55grn from this fast twist and they would come apart about 20 yds past the barrel. I was pushing them too fast and was stripping the thin skin off of them. This barrel shoots the Sierra 60grn HP better than any bullet I have ever shot. The 69grn is not far behind it. I have thought about trying some 75grn bullets but the 60grn shoots so good, just don't want to mess with it. On another note, I had a 6-250 and it was great. Where it would shine was in the wind while shooting Prairie Dogs. It was good for those 300-400 yd shots when the wind was pushing my .223 and 22-250 around. My nephew took a small whitetail with the 6-250 from a ground blind at 150yd. It put the deer down almost on the spot w/a 100grn Hornady BTSP. Sold the rifle to finance the barrel and work on my 22-250. Good luck with your rebarrel job. Mike You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old when you quit playing. | |||
