I'm having my very old Weatherby 22-250 re-barreled and chambered to 22-250 AI.
I currently use RL15 and 52 Amax for foxing. Can anyone recommend a good load for the AI?
Thank you

johnny, i would use the max load data for the 22/250 and work up.
I never loaded any reloader powder but the H414 @ 42grs was a one hole load for my 22/250Ai
always start low and work up
You can get in trouble fast with only a couple tenths of a grain change.

46grs. H414, 50gr.nosler ballistic tip, COL 2.475. this load really shots well in my 700 rem.

IMR 4895 is an ideal 22-250 Ackley powder in almost any bullet weight.

Another vote for IMR 4895 starting around 35gr.

I'm using 38gr of Varget from Nosler #5.Haven't run it over the chrony(list velocity 50grBT is 3730fps).It gives me 1/2 to 3/4" grps @ 200yds. Monashee

IMR4895 AND RELOADER 19. JLK, COOK, FOWLER, BERGER, BULLETS ARE CHEATING.

40 grains of 4895 and a 50 bullet 4085 fps across chrony. This load eats crows.

You can use the starting loads for a 220 swift for starting loads in the 22-250AI.What twist does your rifle have?Mine has 1-9 and does not like the light bullets,it tears them up.

I punched a 1-14" Weatherby Varmintmaster to 22-250AI and thunk pretty highly of it,as blued/walnut goes.

Re-15 is where it's at.

Go 1-8" and live a little.

Who's 1-9" tube? My 1-9" Hart and 1-7.7" Kreiger dote on 50gr V-Max at 4000fps+.

Though happiness is the 75A-Max at 3500fps.
