Having the AI version of the 22-250 brings that cartridge pretty much up to the level of performance of the 220 Swift. If I didn't have a Swift, I'd go for the 22-250 AI. That's why I said in the earlier note that the AI was "better" than the standard cartridge, though it's only a teensy bit better.

I think that maybe this is a good reason for you to get into reloading. RCBS or others will have the Dies. You need a pound or two of IMR 4064 or Reloader 15 and the other bits and pieces (primers, press, scales, etc.) and you are good to go. Then you'll be as hooked on it as the rest of us.
