Hello, Anybody have any good reloading data for the 22-243 Middlestead? Have a new rifle and I am in search for data using 63, 70, 75 and 80 grain bullets? Thanks Russ

I have a 22 CHeetah MKII that is close to the same thing as the middlestead. I use 39 grains of Varget behind a 75 gr. A-Max. This load in my gun will shoot in the .2's all day long at 3560 fps. This is about as fast as you can push this bullet though in a fast twist barrel before it starts to come apart. I use an 8" twist barrel. Another reason I like this load is because the Hodgdon Varget powder is temperature insensitive.

Reloder 19 and 22 both do well in the middlestead, I'd have to get home to check my exact load, but it yields between 3500 - 3600 with a 75 grain Amax. Very accurate at distance 300yards +.
