I'm doing some research on the 22-250AI in quickload and noticed the listed pressure max (57,986 psi) is substantially lower than the 22-250 Rem (65,000 psi). The measurement method of the AI data is "wildcat" which may indicate this data was taken from a single source (rifle). Recognize that 22-250AI is not a SAAMI cartridge, but does anyone know why the AI would be lower? I'm thinking about resetting the data to 65,000 psi, but want to make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot, figuratively speaking of course.
 
After forming cases with full 22-250 loads you should end up 2-3 grains higher than the original load. I never liked quick load especially because I use a lot of VV powders and they are all messed up in that.
