Forum Boss said:
A new .22-250 Cartridge Guide will be released with the updated web site in a few days. I'm looking for all options from the 35-35 grainers all the way up to the 80gr match bullets.

Thanks in advance, guys! ;D
(And yes, we have a 6.5x47 guide in the works too -- hopefully by Xmas.)

Format -- Please provide
Bullet mfg, bullet weight, bullet type (e.g. Berger 55gr flat-base hollow point)
Primer brand and type (e.g. Federal LR)
Brass brand (e.g. Lapua 22-250)
Powder Mfg. and type (e.g. Hodgdon H322)
Powder charge in grains
OAL and seating relative to lands (e.g. jumping .035")
Velocity (if known) with barrel length (e.g. 3300 fps in 26" Shilen)
Comments (e.g. "Very accurate load, 1/2" groups, excellent ground hog load that is NOT temp sensitive)

IMPORTANT: If you are running anything other than a standard .22-250 SAAMI chamber be sure to make note of that. We do NOT want to confuse normal loads with AI loads.

You can reply in this thread. However, if it is a hot load, please do not post here, but send email to mailbox@6mmBR.com

Remington 700 VSSF-22/250

Rem brass
41.5g of Win 760
Win primer
55g Nosler combined Technoloty bullet
Seated to touch the lands
Velocity is 3850 fps, measured with an Ohler 35P
Tiny bug hole groups, and accuracy was so good at 400 yards, we hit all 20 of the MINI clay pigeons set out at 400 yards, then went back and shot the pieces that were left.
Scope used was a 8-32 Burris Black Diamond
This is the fastest load that I have ever shot with extreme accuracy due to the black coating reducing the pressure. This load should be worked up to in your rifle. I would start off working up load for pressure at 39.0g and work up. Some say that H414 = 760, I have not found this to be true.
 
Bullet mfg, bullet weight, bullet type: Nosler

Primer brand and type: CCI 200

Brass brand: RP

Powder Mfg. and type: H380

Powder charge in grains: 41.5

OAL and seating depth: Standard sammi length

Velocity and barrel length: 4,029 26 "

Comments: 5 shots @ .6" consistently, Rifle is factory Rem 700 LH varminter. scope is leupold 8.5X25 redfield one piece mounts/rings. Did tweak the trigger. very pleased w/ this kind of out of the box performance !
