22-250 AI 80 and 90 gr bullets

[Ricky C]

Hey Waspocrew, that's good shooting! I'm still figuring out various loads for mine, but I did find one good one so far. They rebuilt our public range here and setting up my chrono is going to be a pain, so no velocity.

Looks to be a winner there! Such a fun cartridge to load for. I've got plenty of 88s and RL-23, so likely will go with that load for the remaining life of the barrel.

Just picked up a rifle in 22-250 ai. Has a 28 in pac-nor 1-7 twist barrel. I am wanting to run 80 or 90 gr Berger's in it if it likes them. Anyone running this combination. If so what's a good powder to start with . Thanks

Anybody run the 88 ELDM in a 1:7.7 twist? Wondering if it will stabilize in the 22-250AI

It's plenty stable - I use the 88 ELDM in a 1:8 twist 22-250 AI with no issues whatsoever.

What powder are you running and what velocity?

RL-23. Pushing them to 3150 from a 22" barrel. Probably a little more room to go but they shot well and didn't feel the need to push it.
