22 BR 90gn load suggestions

That would make sense. That appears to be the node to shoot.

R15.5 would be 29 (2 grains faster than R16)
Varget is 28.5 (half grain faster than that).
thanks, good info. I have 9 lbs of RL16 but it has been discontinued. If I should out live my stash (76 right now) I can switch to Varget and keep them going down range

H4350 works really well too, if you have it. It’s a hot load, but 32gns H4350 under a 90 SMK has shot really well in 4 different barrels with different twist (7,7.7,8) and land (4 groove and 5R) configurations. The Atip has more bearing surface and will need to be loaded down some.
 
Load workup yesterday 22bra 90 smk 20 into the lands. R15.5. 7 twist Urbanrifleman Wilson barrel. Kauger CRS. MPA Comp Chassis.

The low accuracy node was at 30.4 at 2965 on the left. This shoots very small. This would be the 22br upper node.

High accuracy node was 31.6 at 3077 on the right. I do not plan to go any higher.

This lines up with my experience too. My 30” 22BR barrels make it to the 3070 node too. I have found the mid 2950ish node to shoot the best for BR accuracy.
