I'm planning on putting a 22-250 AI tube on my rifle, and was thinking perhaps I should look for a deal on a 22 encore tube and make a matching pistol tube.

Wondering if anyone has been shooting a 22-250 ackley in the pistols and what the results were.

Last Spring I purchased a used Competitor handgun in 22-250ai. I am very pleased with the accuracy. It has a 17" barrel which I find to be longer than I care for but hate to mess with anything that shoots as well as it does.

Waht powder bullet combo

Boy,
doesn't that look familiar!!! LOL

Glad it's shooting well for you.

I have been getting nice groups from 60gr Sierra bullets

Howdy , I will be shooting a 18" encore pistol here soon , in 22-250AI a fast twist ,7 .for long range PD's , will concentrate on the 80/90 gr bullets ...I'll post as it comes together...Ray

My experince with the 22-250 AI in handguns included a xp-100 and a encore, both with 12 inch barrels. I can assure you that the barrels were too short, and I would not recommend anything less than a 15" tube. The muzzle blast was incredible in the shorter tube. Good luck. wk

I have a 26" .22-250 AI on my encore rifle and couldnot be happier with the performance. I have not tried it in a shorter tube.
