22 arc reloading data

[Denthubb]

Does anyone have any reloading data available for the 22arc using N540 powder, 80 grain Hornedy eldx that you would be willing to share?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any listed for that exact combo, but Varget data works for N540. 26.7grns is max Varget gas gun data.

Thank you. I actually found something for the Serria 80 grain using N540 powder that should be close.

That data looks sketchy. They have SW Precision at a much higher charge than Varget, and N540 lower. 540 is slower than Varget and SW Precision is basically identical. The real red flag, is they have a higher charge of Staball Match, than PP2000MR or CFE223, and both of those are much slower burning than Staball Match. Another quick note, the 80gr Sierra MK has a bearing surface about .040" shorter than the Hornady or even the Berger vld.
