Well yea, that's what I was talking about, hence the 77MK comment. :lol:
Sorry, sometimes I assume everyone is a reloader too!!

Yup.... note that the .223 is a 1:8 twist. 77 grain loads ought to work just fine.

My Savage is a 1:9 twist, and 69 grain bullets are just fine, but 77s don't work worth a darn.

I also reload, but I mistook the exclamations marks for Roman Numerals (MKII). Was trying to figure what shooting a MKII 77 had to do with the American.

Great-wonder if the 22-250 REALLY has a 10" twist?

Didn't say anything about that other rifle, 77 as in 77 grains, MK is matchking and the other was !!
Again, I have been around ranges and Match Kings too long, just take it for granted folks are thinking that way. :lol:
I like those .224 cal. 77gr MK's in my Rock River, now I can have a bolt gun that way, sorry about the confusion.

I shoot the 69 grain MK's in my Les Baer. Absolutely loves them. Les reccomended them to me. He shoots Federal Premiums with that bullet for the test groups he sends with his rifles.

Well there you go, I will try to be a little more clear next time. Yea, for a factory load my RRA loves the Fiocchi 69 gr. MK load .

Ruger nailed it with these rifles. My 308 Parked is an outstanding rifle and I would love to have the 22-250 in stainless.

Does anyone sell a wooden stock for them yet? Walnut or laminated?

I know Boyd's has finished stocks for the American Rimfires, but can't find any for the centerfires. Yet.

I hope it has a NATO or Wylde chamber. With an eight inch twist it probably will.

I like to start up my reloading work up with the bullet into the lands a bit..
I hope that their mag box is long enough (2.45"-2.50") to accommodate the longer match bullets..

Sadly they didn't twist the 22-250 with a 1:8..
Using the 75gr A-max that would be a premo long range wolf or coyote rifle..
