I loaded some early today with 40gr of hod verget and shoot it across the chronograph and the speed was very low 2630 I thought something was wrong with it so I got may 223 out and it shoot 3330 like it always has any suggestions whats wrong /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

50 bmg, are you using magnum primers?

 

[waylon]

No just using winchester large rifle primers

Not sure what the problem is but according to Hodgdon you are already over the maximum recommended charge for a 50gr bullet. Are you sure of the charge weight in those cases?

For reference, I took this off Hodgdon's web site:

Yes I started with 35.0 gr and went to 36.0gr and shoot across the chornograph and was slow then I went to 40gr with no improvment. Then I switched to benchmark with no improvment and was little over loaded blew the primer out at 40gr of powder. The dies I am using a rcbs comp. dies is this the problem /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

50BMG,
You may want to shoot over another crony! My pet loas in 50 gr vmax,36gr IMR 4895, fed 210M for 3800 fps and shoots in the .2s all day.

Yes, shoot over another chrony, then try H380 (start with 37 grains with the 50 grain bullets). I like CCI BR2 primers.

You know, some 22-250s like 4895 and others hate it. Mine did not care for it but loved H380. Both powders are excellent for the 22-250. Varget can be good as well.
