22-250 Ar

[tomw]

Has anyone built a 22-250 Ar. I was planning on buying a RRA .308 and rebarreling it for 22-250. Rock River is not making the .308 yet.

It looks to me like the body tapper of the 22-250 might not feed well from an AR10 mag.
How about a 243 with 55gr bullets you dont have to shoot them any faster than a 22-250 or you can if you want.

I seen a 22 250 barrel offered by some one but dont remember who.
Check shotgun news!

Why not go with the lighter, cheaper AR-15 platform and do it in a .223 WSSM. It will out perform the .22-250, feed and function is not an issue, they work great.

I have been an admirer of the uppers that you build, but you just never hear of any of the wssm's really being a shooter. Like everyone else, I want something that shoots laser flat and will make a little group way on out there. Least ways small enough to hit a coyote in the boiler. I have an upper on the 223AI and I guess I am in search of perfection. :D

"Haven't heard of the WSSM uppers being a shooter" Are you kidding? I don't have ANY WSSM uppers out there that AREN'T shooters. The entire WSSM line is capable of very fine accuracy. The AR-15 is an inherently accurate platform, if you use a good barrel and pay attention to detail while you assemble the upper, it WILL be a shooter.

Ask around, if there is one of my uppers out there where the owner is not elated with the accuracy, I would like to know about it.

Have you had any problems with the 223 AI feeding from the AR mags?
I have a 223 AI in a bolt gun and really like the cartridge.

Up to this point, I have yet to chamber an AR in the .223 AI. This new year is going to bring many changes to my shop. I just recieved my first shipment of Shilen, stainless, match barrel blanks (106 pounds!) My first "run" will be .20 cal. I have several orders for .204 Ruger and a few for .20 Tactical. Where in the past I have been somewhat limited as to what I can produce, the new year is going to change much of that. I will be doing many of the popular wildcats, based on requests and the viabilty of it on the AR platform.

The .223 AI may very well be one of them.

armalite made only a couple for awhile... there are about maybe a 100 out there through them

[Shmartin70]

I had trouble sighting in that 25 wssm that you sold me.
I couldnt see a group at 100 yds because they where all in one hole.

[dtech]

LOL! Now THAT'S what I'm talkin about!

I do want to set something straight though. I was not trying to be arrogant by the statement I made earlier regarding accuracy. ANYONE can build an accurate AR if they use a good barrel and pay attention to details. You can use the most expensive custom barrel available, but if you don't take care of details, you will be disappointed.

I know there are .243 and other calibers made. I just want something diffrent and I also have the equipment for reloading 22-250. Imight just purchase a .243 and rebarrel it later. I was just wondering if any had or heard of a 22-250 on an AR platform. I don't see feeding being any problem. I don't want to start reloading for another cartridge I spend to much time reloading for everything now. Don't get me wrong I love reloading maybe more than shooting.
