I have been playing around a little with some 22.250 loads. I use a charge of 33 grains of IMR 4064 or 4895 in my fast twist 22.250 with 68 thru 80 grain bullets... I had some AA 4064 that I have had for a while, so I tried some of it since it is more user friendly for 22 caliber necks than is IMR's... Well I have to say, with a variety of bullet weights from 50 to 55 grains, I am very pleasantly surprised... even with cheap bulk bullets, I am getting 100 meter groups out of my Ruger VT about half the size of a dime to the size of say a dime... another side benefit, is that it is generating low enough pressure, that I don't even have to neck size it to reseat a new bullet, for several shots... I haven't taken the time to chronograph it.. estimating the MV at about 3400 fps or so.. I also don't have the ability to show some target samples since I let Seafire JR take my camera to Philmont Boy Scout Camp down in New Mexico...he'll be back on the 9th of July.. I have kept some samples so I will post them then...I have had fun turning in some small 200 and 300 meter groups also... Life Member: The American Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Jan 20, 2009..
