speakin to my BIL , he had a .223 ackleyed..... i said, dont think its worth it--- he rekons it gives flatter, noticable differenc for 200m head shots on Kangaroos (permit/commercial harvester).... it was christmas, i didnt want to Argue. LOL

it came up because i aske about the 22-250 brass stretching- an how ackley would help being little to no taper :)

WL, I shoot both standard and AI'ed versions of the 22-250 (223 as well), and yes, the AI versions require less trimming. Having said that, the regular version isn't nearly as bad as people seem to think. - dan

I've had two 350 RM's. One a Rem 600 which I sent to my brother in Alaska years back, then other built on a 98 Mauser action. The Mauser works very well for this, as the extra box length allows longer coal's, which really makes a difference in this cartridge. I can push 250 gr bullets to around 2615 average, which is faster than my 35 Whelen was, and only about 30-40 fps slower than the improved Whelen I had was capable of. Both of my Whelens were also built on 98 Mausers, though they both had 24 inch barrels while my 250 only has a 21 inch, if memory serves. It's a powerful, efficient cartridge, one of my favorite 35's (and I've owned a few). - dan

I too have owned 2 350 RMs - A Rem M700 CLASSIC and a Rem M600 With laminated stock and the vented rib !
I liked the M700 Classic more 👍
