I am a big fan of NEF Handi Rifles. I have had really good luck with them, with accuracy and reliability. I have a .223 handi and want to have it rechambered to .22-250. I was wondering what people think of the .22-250, is it enough better than the .223 to do this? Also, will I run into problems with bore diameter, twist rate or any other issues I may not have addressed. I have looked at the ballistics and it seems to be quite a bit faster, which is what I want. I am looking to shoot 400+ yards, and I think the extra velocity will help. I also like to have things that are different than everybody else, and everybody has a .223. The cost of this is not an issue, as my Dad is a machinist with 35+ years of experience, so my only real cost will be renting a chambering reamer. I know I could just buy a rifle chambered in .22-250, but I already have this one. If there is another caliber that you think I will have better luck with that is offered in the Handi, or that I could rechamber the Handi to, please let me know. Any suggestions or constructive criticism are welcome.
