250 AI, new powders

[Billl]

Anyone using any of the newer powders in the 250 Savage AI? My first AI cartridge. I think that I would like st s
Try Nosler accubond 110 grain bullets, seems like would be a good choice for whitetail, coyotes, and such. Any advice would be appreciated

The 90 gr hammer absolute will get you some vel out of that 250 ai and is plenty of bullet being a mono recommended twist 1-10 minimum

I use 115 partitions and H4350 getting 2950fps

I ran H414 and H4350 in my old 23" .250AI w. a 115 HVLD @ 3050fps w. Winchester brass and CCI BR2.

Appreciate the input. My first AI loading. Ruger #1a

I tested quite a few powders with barnes and hammer bullets in my 250 AI. A few powders that shot great in my rifle are;
IMR-4451, IMR-4166, Reloder 15 and 16, SW Match Rifle, and the top powder with 75 Hammer was IMR-3031. LT-32 shot groups .6 and under but SD numbers were all in the 20's. IMR-3031 had single digit numbers and best group was under .1". The 75 hammer works great on everything from varmint to deer so far.

Pretty traditional here - H4350 behind Nosler 100gr BT as well as Scirroco 100gr which incidentally accounted for the Whitetail in the adjacent picture. I figure, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I use RL 16 in a ruger #1 250 savage pushing a 100 gr swift scirocco..most accurate combo I've tried

IMR 3031 with 75HH and RL15 with 90AH.

IMR 3031 with 75HH and RL15 with 90AH.

What's you charge and speed on these 2?

 

[just_jon]

I've not settled on a final load for either bullet as too many other projects have come up. The day I tested; I was not shooting to the best of my ability. Not even close. With the 75HH, I will be retesting 40.0, 40.2 and 40.4. With the 90AH, I plan on reshooting 42.5, 42.7 and 42.9.

40.0 gr IMR3031 with 75 HH, 3526 fps, grouped .032, ES 8, SD 5.7 in my rifle.

I should add that in my old 243 with Hornady 100 gr interlock, a load of 35.5 gr would put bullets in the same hole and took countless deer.

I'm running 3200 with the 75HH and 3000 with the 90AH out of a 15" barrel.

Great deer bullet
