So, I have a barrel certificate from the fine folks at Shilen Barrels. I am 100% unsure of what I want to get or do with it. I have a hankering from something totally different. A standard caliber, or an easy to make caliber, nothing major wildcat. Any ideas? I'm thinking something along the lines of my 308 Win Rem 700 parts build. But I don't know!

We've talked about this. You need a switch barrel for your parts build .308, and the Shilen needs to be a 1:7.7 .22-250.
Don't get one they chambered, have Tony chamber and thread.

Fast twist 22-250 or 220 Swift to shoot those cool .224 heavies. Tikka action and take that 90 gr VLD or 95 gr SMK on out past 1000 yards.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

I'm thinking something along the lines of my 308 Win Rem 700 parts build. But I don't know! 22" - 24" 1:10" 308, with a 3 position M70 type safety. Pretty handy.

.338 Norma Mag. Heavy barrel. Big brake. Go ahead and make it left handed. Anything but a Remington action.
Oh wait that’s for me

It might be interesting with optimal twist for those long bullets you can get these days.

I have a 22 dasher that I built for 90's that I am LOVING...it's the most fun gun to shoot that I have...runs those 90's over 3k fps and burns less than 35 grains of H4350 ....at 600y it's a full MOA flatter than my 6 dasher running 105 hybrid at almost the exact same speed. Having said all of that...if you don't have a 6br or 6br improved you are missing out in life I have a 220 swift and I'd take it over a 22-250 any day and twice on Sunday's.

If going bigger 22 go Creedmoor or 22-243 both will have a little more in the tank than the 22-250 and brass is no problem. 90gr 22cal bullet at 3200fps is fun
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Alright, either 22-250 or 22 Creedmoor. But leaning towards the 22-250 for less powder capacity and pushing an 80 grain about 3000 fps. I can put my 223 can on it, also, and that would give an extra suppressor to use other than one my 223.

I'm in love with my 22" 1-8' 220 swift shilen barreled rifle. 80gr nosler Customs and H4831 is ridiculous. I shot a group and thought I butchered the group even though es was 9, it was probably best group of my life. I will do an ai version after this one is toast not for speed but brass flowing. It's now my prs rifle, haven't even put a round through the 6 Creedmoor that was built 2 months ago.

Buzz, the 22-250 shares the same bolt face as a 308 family of cases (243, 6.5 Creedmoor, etc), and is a short action round. You can load the long heavy bullets out long and the round still fit and feed in a normal length magazine. I'll probably put this on my Surgeon rifle as another switch barrel. I'm going with a #4, #5, or light palma contour barrel. I am thinking about 20"-21" long, plus my 223 suppressor.
