Nope.I meant I have never owned a 22-250.I think pretty highly of it,just never have gotten around to buying a rifle I liked in 22-250..

Bea175,
Have a couple 22-250 Rems, one 22-250 AI and have build several recently for customers. All have been rechamber jobs on Rem 700 varminters for customers.
Most needed the threads removed and refitted for quality match grade results. Even with the shorter barrel by 3/4" the AI chamber with the tight match grade throat topped standard 22-250 velocity by at least 150 fps and often by 200 fps.
Groups generally run in the 1/2 moa range with virgin brass and play with the 1/4 moa size with taylored fireformed loads.
My personal 22-250 AI is a Ruger Varminter that I simply rechambered. It is a 1/3 moa rifle with the 50 gr Ballistic Silvertip loaded to 4050 fps in the 25.5" Ruger factory pipe.
This is a great round offering slightly more performance then the Swift with much longer case life and generally better accuracy on average.
Personally I like the 22-6mm AI better as a big 22 caliber round as it will produce 4250 fps with the 55 gr Ballistic Tip in a 26" barrel. Barrel life is a bit shorter but for long barrel life I would go with a 223 Rem or its AI brother. For shear performance, the 22-6mmAI is what I go for.
For an all around varminter though, the 22-250 AI is very hard to beat in a quality rifle.
Good Shooting

I ran a 22-250 Ai for awhile and achived some velocity increase of 200 fps with 40 grainers.The improvements bled off as the projectile weight increased.
It is a good varmiting caliber.
