What do ya'll think of this in a contender? I thinking a 20" bull barrel.

I had spoke to Mike a while back about that & was leaning heavy to that 222Rem mag improved. Let me know if you go ahead with the 223 Ackley Improved.

Rich,
If I were doing a rechamber then I would probably go for the 222mag Imp. But since it's going to be a new barrel and I have alot of 223 brass, i'm gonna try the 223imp. I'm not really looking for more speed, I just like them funny lookin shoulders Should be a good one.

Jules, I think Brett has one coming from DVH. Ya might come over and chat tonight, he is usually around there later when the BS dies down. Di I say that? LOL

Personally I think it's a great idea!

Got the 223imp. on order from mbmco. I'm trying it on one of those $50. barrels from Les. I'm going to have Mike do a 1" step up barrel 20" long. Got the Redding dies from Midway. $56. with shipping.
I'll have to rework a forend for 1" though, but that shouldn't be to hard.
Anyone got any suggestions on fire forming this case??

Jules, Sounds like a "winner" of a project! One question--what is this "$50 barrel from Les" you're referring to? I'd like to more, if you don't mind. Let us know how it turns out w/ MBMCO. Gary T.

FYI: Lee tells me that I can use my regular .223 collet neck sizing die without problem on the .223 AI. Some will laugh at me for suggesting Lee dies (right Mark?), but they do a great job on my Hornet brass. I've also got a Redding body die and their competition seating die on order.

Gary, I'll send you an e-mail tonight.
