[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 3072899, member: 9551"] I shoot 600 yard groups. I also have three .224 Valkyrie AR groups under an inch at 500 meters (see attached photo)[ATTACH type="full" alt="4 22 2022 22.jpg"]558923[/ATTACH]. 6 GT because you can get highest quality cases from Alpha with small rifle primers. With 105-108 gr bullets, it is truely a thousand yard cartridge. The 6mm bullets create enough splash to correct for follow up shots, but not enough recoil to loose sight of the critter. The problem with the .22-250 and Ackley (I have two of each that just sit in the safe) is that they have large rifle primers and barrel life in hundreds not thousands of rounds. I shoot only coated bullets in nitrocarburized barrels to combat throat erosion. The 22 Creedmore would be a better choice in .224 Bullets because of brass quality, with .22-250 Ackley or Swift performance and barrel life. I shoot 80 gr bullets in the .22 BR at 500 meters but these bullets often give inadequate splash to correct shots. The same is true of my 7 twist custom Bartlein .20 BR set up for 55 gr Bergers which I love dearly. At 300 yards the .17 Remington and .204 Ruger are great. The .22 PPC or .22 BR are the most accurate out to 500 yards with 7.5 or 7 twist barrels. Please correct me if you have a successful rifle, but I have not seen the .224 85.5 Berger 90 Berger, 88 ELDM or 90 Sierra, 95 Sierra group under two inches at our club 500 meter range. I can tell you that 7 twist is not the answer. [/QUOTE]
