I just bought a barrel here and this is my first foray into AI cartridges.
The barrel headspaced perfect on my action with a Tubbs .250 lug, even the barrel markings landed in the right place, my old Rem 722(sako extractor) hasn't been used for a few years and really was a perfect donor for this barrel. It even feeds as slick as it did when it was a 300 Sav and then a regular 22-250.
A little reading a little reading and a few mentioned that 220 Swift data would work and I put together 10 rounds with 4320 and 52gr Speer HP's. I started with a max standard 22-250 load that is a middle ground load for the 220 Swift.
I'll put it on paper tomorrow, I hope with 5-7 rounds that will leave me three to hunt with on the way home. I have it set up with an Elite 4200 2.5-10.
I hope it shoots well.
