    Load data needed for 22-250 w/80gr bullets


    Can y'all provide me with load data for .22-250 running 80gr match bullets. Barrel is 26 inches with 1-8 twist.

    Bullets are 80gr SMK, 80gr Nosler BTHP, 80gr Berger VLD.

    Powders I have available,

    H4895, Varget, H4350, H4831, Ramshot Hunter, Ramshot Magnum

    Data for other powders is welcome as I may find some in the distant future.

    I have loaded 36gr of H4350 and RL17 with good success, and made it up to 38gr and were rock solid, I wish I would have chrono'd them.

    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

    I thought I was going to be able to hook ya up with my fire-form load for my 22-250AI, but apparently I don't have it written down anywhere anymore. I know it used a 75gr Amax and H4350, but how much I don't know (guessing around 36-37gr). Guess that's what happens when you stockpile and don't fire-form any new brass for 6-7 years. lol

    My 80gr 22-250AI loads both run 39.4 grains of H4350 with either a 80gr Nosler or 80gr Amax. It's a stout load that usually leaves an ejector mark on the case so rookies take note. Take off the 10% that the AI version nets you and you're looking at roughly 35.5 grains. Sierra's manual shows up to 36.5 grains of H4350 with an 80gr SMK which is also listed as their accuracy load for that combo.

    4350 works best when lit up with a CCI BR-2.

    That's good news since I actually have quite a bit of that powder & primer.

    Now I need targets that don't mind being rained on.
