heavy bullets in 22-250

[william75]

looking for data for 75-80gr bullets in the 22-250, so far info has been very little especially with the 80's. Any ideas for me where to look next? anybody have personal experience with 80's?

Thanks

Secondhand account, as told to me by someone who did shoot 80's in highpower competition,slow and rapid fire). 1200 Rounds, and the barrel was toast - rifling gone for several inches forward of the throat.

I used the 22/250 for one season for 600 yard matches. Great results on targets, tough on barrels. The barrel, Krieger 1:7.75 twist, was pulled and set back two inches, then installed on a Ruger No1V. It's got about 2500 total rounds through it, first as a 223OTC gun,1200 rounds), then re-chambered to 22/250 for OTC/LR and it's still a 22/250 on the Ruger. My son uses it for prairie dogs, great out to 600 or so yards with 80gr Sierra's and 75gr A-Max'es. He will shoot it this next spring for it's last time on prairie dogs. Then, it's off to the landfill, he will have the gun re-barreled in 204 Ruger next.

I posted some load data for 22-250 AI and I deleted it after I realized that you were asking for standard 22-250 load data with heavy bullets. IF ANYONE READ MY POST BEFORE I DELETED IT PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THOSE LOADS WERE FOR 22-250 AI BRASS, NOT STANDARD 22-250 BRASS.

Sorry for the confusion.
