22-250 AI 80 gr Data

[waspocrew]

Just about finished forming brass and would like to get started with 80 gr ELDMs. I've got H4350, RL-23, and RL-26 at the moment. Anyone mess around with the 80's in a 22-250 AI with any of the powders I've mentioned?

Bump

Mine is being re barreled now to AI

I was shooting 75s with H414

R-19, 70 gr Bergers, 3500+, groups high .2 to mid .3!

Should mention- went to to range with 80gr ELDMs loaded with H4350. Seated 0.030" off lands. Started at 36.0 gr and made it to 37.0 before I felt like the bolt lift was stiff and difficult to pull the bolt back. Velocity seemed pretty slow at 3115. Stopped at that point to be on the safe side.

Back to the drawing board- going to recheck everything (brass trim length, etc) and then go with RL-23 next.

For what it's worth, my forming load is boringly accurate with 55gr Blitzkings and RL-16.

When mine gets back I'm going to 80s or 90 grains bullet

Sturner,
If you're going that heavy why not the 243 and really send them humming?!?

 

[sturner]

I like 22-250s always had one and always will is the only reason I got to be honest
My 75 gr out of a non improved was running 3348 FPS

 

[GLTaylor]

Almost 3600 in the improved! Critters better step outa the way!

 

[sturner]

And I may stay with the 75s

[GLTaylor]
