Re: Varmint Rifle Profiles
Sako factory stock etc.
22-250 AI/6mmBR/308 has had several other barrels as well.
Barrel length 22-250AI 25"
Scope Leupold Vari X3 4.5 x 14 x 50mm.Soon to be a leupold 8.5 x 25 x 50mm.
Reason for 22-250AI top flat shooter.
Running 52gr A Max at 3800fps. I think its accurate in all 3 barrels on paper and in the field.

Re: Varmint Rifle Profiles
That is definitely quick mate!
Wish i could run the 52gr amax in my 10 twist BRX to see if i could match you. I can get 55gr BT's at over 3750 with 35gr of 2208 and thats not pushing it. How much powder does the AI need to run the bullets that quick?

38.2grs of 2208 mate.It will run up to 4000fps but the accuracy at 3800 is so good its all I need.
The group above is just average and nowhere near its best, it is 0.314" at 100m.
The 308 barrel put 5 into 0.307 at 100m with 125gr BT's at 3050fps.
The 6mmBR put 5 into 0.700" at 300m with 105 Bergers.I just love the 6BR everyone I touch just shoots so good.
It is just a very accurate package.
It's almost unfair on the foxes,rabbits etc.
Maddco barrel on 22-250AI 1:14twist
Sako factory on 308 1:10
Trueflite on 6BR 1:8
Have a good one,

Re:
Nice shooting Drew - Those Nosler BT's certainly do the job well dont theyDrew Jaeger wrote:Currently, my small game outfit is a Ruger KM77 MkII All-Weather in 223 with the standard 22" sporter weight barrel. The scope is a Leupold Vari-XIIc 3-9x40mm. I have lighten the trigger to 2.2lb and installed a trigger shoe. The barrel is fully floated.
These bunnies were shot with Speer 52gr HPs
I've tested numerous projectiles type/weights and powders, the load that consistently shoots well in this rifle is;
Nosler 40gr Ballistic Tip
WSR primer
27.3grs of Benchmark 2
Remington brass
Chronographed velocity = 3480ft/s
0.712" at 100m
Nosler 40gr Ballistic Tip
