BENCHMARK POWDER REMINGTON 30 AR MOD

It took a while to get that load but the testing was worth it. I load 55 gn v-max and 36.5 gn of 2208 and the best 100m 3 shot group is 1/4 moa. My first rifle was a tikka 22-250 and still have it.

Ive seen and gotten some other suggestions re powders, so what is the thinking on what is best (whats the tech behind one powder or another?). I have some 2208, and also wondering if for 22-250 what the better powder is. I appreciate the rifle is quite aged (bought in 1980) and maybe less than an accurate beast. Significant improvements in consistency since floating the barrel (sanding out the stock).

Ive been trying to get an accurate load for my Parker Hale Midland Mod 98 for the past 18months. Plus my loads from 33.7 to 35.5 are really not getting closer than around 1.5-2 MOA at best 100m.Īnother re-loader I know has said start 10% below min and work up by 1 gr intervals to start with prior to refining. So am I starting too high, given my colleague is getting great accuracy with 31.5 gr with the same powder? I appreciate different rifles like different loads, but I am wondering if I am starting in the wrong place. Start at 1/3 up this scale i.e in the ADI book for 55 gr, max is 35.5, min is 32.5, so start 1/3 up this range and increase by 1% of max load (of 35.5-32.5 = 3gr =. My development process to date, based on some previous reading on where to start is like this:įor the powder and projectile, find the upper and lower recommended loads.

His - 31.5 gr 2206H behind 55 gr Supa Ross (Sierra)Īccuracy seems to be very good on the 31.5 gr and I'm wondering if going to a lower starting load is the way to go? Mine - mid range load of 34.3 gr ADI 2206H behind a 55gr V-Max I recently chatted with another 22-250 re loader and his loads were significantly less than what I am developing:
