[QUOTE="earl1704, post: 1445735, member: 8946"] 22-250 AI new barrell Reloading for a new barrel, my question is; will the maximum powder load be anywhere near book maximum load with the bullet jammed in? How to fire form better? I tried to fire form by following Noslers suggestion for the 22-250 AI as follows; Loaded a standard 22-250 case with relatively fast powder H4895 31.5 grains (max load would be 33.8 gr. minimum 29.5 gr.) with Hornady 53 gr V-max bullet. Snug the bullet to the lands with the head against the bolt face (eliminating case stretching in the web area). Every case had case head separation with splitting almost all the way around and tight bolt. The cases used had been fired 3 or 4 time before. Bought new Winchester brass loaded same as before but pulled the bullet out of the lands, have bright rings at case head area. Am I fire forming incorrectly? When I do get a proper fire form with the bullet seated in the lands do I start with minimum loads and will I stay there e.g. nowhere near maximum loads? Thanks for any thoughts.....................Earl [/QUOTE]
