A 22-06 AI? Do I have that correct?
You will certainly be getting some practice in replacing barrels.
What are you screwing them onto?
I did the conversion myself it is not that hard or complicated, actually they are frowned upon by gunsmiths and most won't do them. probably due to the fact that they won't be able to charge you $300.00 to install a barrel anymore after that. I tell you what as much as I thought I knew everything I needed to know about reloading. I have still learned a lot more over the years from you and this forum. so I have decided it's Karma time, so this is my offer I will gladly show you how the conversion is done, heck maybe you could do one of your classes just like your reloading ones I am up for it. all I need is a bench vise and even if you don't have one I will bring mine. I will PM you my info and we can come up with something.

Yes I did and it literally knocked me on my A$$, it was one of my prouder moments.LOL I had to send it back to the gunsmith with three fired cases so he could make some adjustments, that always happened's when you are dealing with something new and have nothing to go on, it probably would have been OK but I am very persnickety when it comes to my wildcats as you can see I take pride in my creations.

I need a cool pet name for this round, if anyone can think of something creative I am open.
OH and in case you were wondering it was made from a 50 BMG blank.
