.223 or .22-250 or 22 creed

Pictures are better than numbers! I am an AI fan because it takes care of the case stretch issue. The extra speed is a bonus and by the time I have fire formed my brass then all my load work up is pretty much done.

How many loadings do you get out of your brass?

8-10

22-250 AI is fun for sure. The fireforming thing is a non-issue. Load 100 pieces of Lapua and then go shoot prairie dogs, rock chucks, or go hunt deer. My fire forming loads are plenty accurate for that.

Having used and burnt out 223ai's, 22-250ai's, 243ai's, and 1 25-06ai barrel, I've never understood the aversion guys have toward fireforming brass? FF'is just shooting, who doesn't like to shoot?

I have some RP 223ai brass that is close to 30 firings and still going and never been trimmed.

I started with 200 pieces of lapua 243 brass in my first 243ai. I have about 140 of those left and they toasted my 3rd 243ai barrelthis past summer. Some I lost and some I tossed.
