I am looking for pet loads for my 15� XP-100 chambered in .22-250.Anyone else have this cartridge? Just starting to work-up some loads and was wondering if anyone could steer me in the right direction. Any information will be deeply appreciated. I have previously requested this on other sites in the past, so some of you have seen this. I think this site holds extremely knowledgeable members, and I am confident
that the data provided will be excellent. Thank you of your time and consideration in this matter.

Regards,
Bill

Yes I have. Please inform which manual that has 22-250 PISTOL DATA in it.
Thanks,


Thanks for the lead to Steve's Reloading, but still no data for the 22-250. :O(

Yo, Bill I have one just like that. Got magnumitis somewhere along the way. Not to dampen your ardor but I wished I had left it 22 BR.

I use the 4895's, H380, RL15, 40 to 60 gr bullets, Fed GM resized 308's, Fed and Rem brass and benchrest primers. I start seating testing at 0.025 off lands.

So far just about any load you find in the rifle section works fine. Think of the XP as a real SHORT rifle. Chase down some of the Contender sites and checkout the Single Shot Pistol section of this site, they are good folks and have some very good data available.

As always, each toy is an individual. Pick out a bullet or two you would like to use - I like Berger, Hornady, Nosler and Sierra. Get some good brass, Norma or Lapua comes to mind. I like Hodgdon, Accurate Arms, and Alliant ball powders but saying that will liable to start a HooHa here, and I use Fed Gold Metal match primers for most of my calibers. Go through the steps to accurize the brass and you should do fine.

There is a wealth of information available on this site, use the search function to chase down specific information, i.e., trimming, turning, weighing, bullet and case runout accurate loading, and other information you might find usefull. Then start doing what all reloaders do to get where we want to go.

Enjoy your XP, I really enjoy mine.

Oh by the way, get rid of that nasty, ugly, worthless, my-ex-wife looking plastic, shi- colored brown, who-ever-though-that-up-should-be-nutted original stock and get ANY other replacement, that is unless you have the Rem Custom stock them you're all right.

Watch out for the Ratz.

Your XP with a 15" barrel is basically a "short rifle", or more correctly a "carbine". Use rifle data, and make sure you start low and work up slowly...

Thanks to all for the leads.
I guess I must not be doing anything wrong then. I was trying to find a powder that could burn quick enough in the 15" barrel and not just have a flame thrower. But it must be the nature of the beast then. I'll continue the way I was going.
Thanks again.

Bill
