Best Load for 20-250 AI 55gr Bergers.

[daniel brothers]

I'm FINALLY getting my newly built Savage Model 12, 20-250 AI, which I had built to shoot the 55 Bergers in the PacNor 8 twist, 26" barrel, for long range coyotes... well... longer ranges than what I've been using my 204 for.

I thought you guys might have some ideas on the BEST Starting Combo for powder, primer, charge weight, and seating depth, that this Baby may like for starters.

I know that all rifles are different, but I'm hoping that you experienced guys might have a tip or two.

Thanks in advance... Dan

With all my AI stuff I start at the book max for the standard round and work up. Never ran into a problem doing it that way.

book stuff won't work with this caliber, because it's pushing a 20 caliber bullet out from a larger case... which requires a slower burning powder charge. I thought there surely are some guys on here that has loaded for that caliber.... surely ... they must be hiding... come out... come out... where ever you are....LOL
