Why would 22-250 be making a comeback? I might buy a barrel if was available in faster twist for 77+ grain projectiles.

Because it's different?

See how nice those 36grn varmit Grenades will do through it.

Be awesome if they throated it long and has a fast twist rate.

Hmmmmm, I have a surplus of 22-250 brass, light bullets, and primers.

Looks like fun, but I couldn't do it at that price. Not when I was able to buy a bolt action rifle, 4-12x50AO scope and several boxes of ammo in .22-250 for just a few dollars more than the cost of that upper alone.

I have a few….. I also have 77grn noslers just because…. Have a bolt gun in 12 twist and a 7 in an AR. Would it be a waste in the 14 twist at 100-200 yard? Or is it just seeing what the rifle would spit, and make a few? Oh and how many reloads you get out of the 22-250 I'm only at 3 and still barely trimmed once. PMC brass through same chamber.

What are your thoughts so far, on the 22-250 upper purchase?

 

[Sxsnuf]

I'd be thrilled with an ar10 in .243 or .260. Never had a .260 but I love my lever gun in .243!

So how have you found this upper to shoot. I sent mine back because it pierced and blew out primers. It was pretty accurate on my DPMS lower but there was an issue with headspace, chamber dimensions or it needs an adjustable gas block to shoot high velocity ammo.

 

[Capn Jack]

Hmmmm...

Different brass, another set of dies, another .22, more stuff....I think I'll pass.

 

[Kruel J]

I've always liked 22-250. But in an AR? Why?

Expensive to shoot. The barrel will need changing after a relatively short amount of ammo. And where are these barrels gonna come from? BCA? They aren't exactly known for quality, ACCURATE barrels and the 22-250 NEEDS a damn good barrel.

Meh.

 

[titsonritz]

A low tier budget upper in 22-250 with a 20", 1:14 twist barrel...I am way underwhelmed.

Yup. It's cool that they did it but I don't think it will be something we start seeing at the ranges. Some will buy it just to have it I'm sure.

Find an early Remington 700 Classic with a heavy barrel in 22-250 and you will really see what the round is capable of!

That is the best advice that could be given.

And it is probably going to have a 26" barrel or at least 24".

Like @arakboss said, to breath new life into the cartridge they need to increase the twist rate for heavy projectiles and bring the round into the 21st century.
