Does anyone have any pet loads they would care to share? Hornady hasn't updated their info in years and years. PM me if you prefer.

Thanks,

My 219 DW is the shorter original version, it's a Ruger #1 with a 27" Pac-Nor barrel.
The loads listed below are worked up and considered maximum in my rifle.
Usual warnings about working up to these loads slowly etc, etc.

52 SMK, 29 grains of Benchmark for 3635 fps.

52 SMK, 27 grains of RL-10X for 3590 fps.

52 SMK, 29.5 grains of 8208 for 3610 fps.

Hope that is of some help.

Regards,
David.

Hi--I have the longer DW and was interested in
loads at about 3300 fps for 100 yrd benchrest
Older speer manual's have some information
I also used loads for a 223 AI as a starting load and that worked fine
H 380 and powder in that range seem best
with Berger 52 and 55 gr bullets
Have fun with it as it s a great
cartridge
