22 BRX load data

35 grains of Varget seems to move 52 grain Barts along nicely :) quickly too!
 
Hi Spook

Ive got one quilt up myself, but I have no load data for it. Looking to load up 55gr Nosler Ballistic tips. Im guessing 35gr of varget was going to get about 3700fps from my lilja 27" 1"10 twist. But if I could get that with the 60gr Nosler ballistic tips, I was going to stay with them. Hoping to shoot the 69gr SMK around 3300-3400 out to 500-600yds at the local range.
 
I started my loading at 33gr of varget and worked up slowly in 0.3gr increments. Up to 34.5gr at the moment with no pressure signs and 55gr nosler ballistic tips are doing 3745fps. Im expecting 35gr of varget will get them up to 3800fps. Time to try the 60gr bullets next.
 
I just unloaded 50 charged with 36 grains of RL-15 and 55 Vmax thinking it would be too hot...looks like I should have tried it.
The case capacity is 89% of 22-250 from what I've measured.

I have managed to ruin some Lapua cases in 22 CHeetah overcharging them with Varget,large oblong primer pockets, since then I'm a little cautious.
I'm thinking this case and an 8 twist barrel with some 80 grain Amax would be a lot of fun.

Please keep me posted.
