With this bullet, all the way to 20 grains was reached ( 60%). However, I would recommend max being set at 19 grains or less.

This bullet also reached the 20 grains mark ( 60 %) . However once again I recommend max being set at 19 grains or less.
I've been shooting a load of 18.5 grains of Blue Dot in a 22.250 lately and it has proven to be quite the tack driver... another good thing about it, is that the brass does not even have to be resized frequently... I just deprime and then reprime and it is ready to go again.. doesn't even need neck resizing...
I am using this load as a test on stretching out brass life.. so far on 10 test batches of 10 cartridges each, several have hit the 20 reloads mark and are still going strong..
I am finding this will have an advantage when gone out of state on a prairie dog shooting trip if you can reload the cases without the need to neck size them even...they are averaging needing a neck size about every 5th shot only...
