ah now we are making sense. go ahead and load em up as long as you want. that rifle is made to shoot long bullets. probably built on a long action rem700 long action too.

I doubt that very much, pyro.
Don't concern yourself with what the max. COAL in the reloading manuals. If it fits in the magazine with enough room to slide a dime in between the bullet nose and the front of the magazine box you're good to go. Edited by Roy Finn - October/16/2010 at 23:39 |

Doubt that a 22-250 would be built on a long action. |

really? i bet it would be if it was a competition rifle like he says it is. thats how those guys make up for the long heavy bullets they like to use.
look at the 6.5x55, its the same story. i know a few guys that do that with the .257 roberts and the 7x57 as well. its not that uncommon for people to build rifles that are normally based on a short action and use a long action rifle platform. that way they can use those berger type bullets and seat them way out and still fit in the magazine.

If it is a custom rifle then there are 2 other things he needs to find out.
1. Was it reamed with a tight neck? If it is a benchrest rebarrel then they generally do. The brass may have to be neck turned in order to chamber. Way to tell:
a. Measure the outside diameter of the neck on a loaded round
b. Measure the outside diameter of the neck on a fired unsized case
If the loaded round dimension is not .003" LARGER then neck turning is a consideration, if the loaded round dimension is less than the fired unsized case neck, then outside neck turning is mandatory
2. What is the barrel twist? If the previous owner wanted to shoot the heavier bullets then he would have put a faster twist on the barrel and that will greatly effect what bullet the rifle will shoot.
Lots of questions, need more info on the rifle, magazine length and throating.
