[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2621319, member: 115658"] I have a simple garden variety .22-.250. McGowen 26", #4 McGowen contour, 7.7 twist, 5R. I like the Hornady 75 ELDM's with RL 16 but also use - Hornady 75 HpBt & Staball, Hunter, 4000MR, T8000, IMR4831, H4350, AA4350, SW4350, H414. I expect the barrel will last 1,500 rounds. My loads are moderate. I use whatever suitable powder I can get. I wish .22-.250 brass came with small rifle primers.

Two years ago, I developed a nice load using H414 at cool temperatures. but when I shot same at 95 deg. pressures spiked. The .224 75 ELD remains my bullet of choice & RL16 my powder of choice for my .22-.250's. .22-.250 loads using the 75 ELD are good for 600 yards plus and swat down small rodents. I might get another 150-fps using Lapua brass & RL16. Wifey shoots the Hornady 75 hpbt out of her 9 twist .223 at 2800 fps at steel. [/QUOTE]
