Interesting.
Maddco only make the 22cal barrels in 1/10' and 1/14.
You've met me ,I like being a bit different. :D
In the old days,back in late 70s I shot 50 and 55s in the Sako 222.
Off memory I think I stocked the 50s along with 20.5 of AR2201 and 20 grains with the 55s
Had no trouble getting the 55s to stabilise in a 1/14 twist.lead tips,none of this plastic stuff.
Will be interesting how quick I can send the blighters.

Yeah, there sill be nothing wrong with that mate, I was having a lame attempt at humour, didn't work too well eh ? I don't reckon you will have any troubles with what you are getting made. :D
