      Yes, for a bolt gun. This is more towards the AR15 platform.

      Looks like a nice option for those wanting a 22 cal varmint AR15. Personally if I'm changing from a .223/5.56 I'm going to go larger bullet diameter.

        Nosler is about 5 yrs to late to the "AR new cartridge platform" party

        gonna be an epic failure just like many of the WSSM / WSM cartridges
        Yep.

          Blake is right...this will not go anywhere.

            I would rather have a custom AR in 22/250 if that's possible.

              AR308 platform with a black hole barrel.

                I just finished a build on a M5 (AR 10) platform in 22-250, just waiting to work some loads up for it.

                  I'm not sure I agree with that. I would be interested to know what barrel length they used to get those velocities. I would think since it is specifically designed for an AR 15 they would've used 20 to 22 inch barrels. If that's the case, to get 3500 ft./s with a 55 grain bullet out of a 20 inch barrel, puts it right in the ballpark of the 22– 250 without having to go to a big, heavy clunky AR10 rifle.

                  Personally if I'm going to have to deal with the extra size and weight of an AR10 rifle, it's not going to be a 22 caliber of any kind.

                    It was 3500 fps with a 24' and 3350 with a 18" I think

                      There will always be guys like us willing play with a new round & reload, but to reach the masses you have to mfg lots of rounds to make them affordable.

                      Heck, most won't even shoot the 204 in the AR because 223 is so cheap...this Nosler is going to be too expensive a round. I just don't see it taking off.

                        This one looks to have a rebated rim.

                        I knew that. Just wasn't thinking

                        I'm still interested. A better .22 has existed, several actually. But none have been backed and pushed like this has the potential to be.

                          That's a totally different discussion Paul. Obviously it will never be as popular as the 5.56/.223 as no other AR variant caliber is. However I don't think it will be a flop.

                          Hey I mean if Nosler takes marketing skills to the level that Hornady did with the Creedmoor it will be the be all/end all caliber for the AR15.

                          I'm interested as well. It intrigues me for some reason. Build it in a 7 twist barrel and shoot heavies at a still reasonable velocities and/or run a 40-50 grain bullet at over 3500fps and it will be a varmint nightmare. Handloaders will likely be able to squeeze more velocity out of it as from my experience Nosler load data tends to be pretty conservative.

                              Too bad you can't get the 22-250 in an AR15.

                                Don't see why you couldn't make one in a AR-10 platform
