Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 8 twist .22-250 loads

I haven't used the 80amax. I wouldn't think it would suck but hate to guess.

I've shot deer pigs and coyotes with the 75's and have no complaints yet. I aim for lungs though. If you prefer to break shoulders then I'd go with the 62's

I really like the 62's it's just easier maybe im lazy to shoot one bullet.

Just sent a Lapua .22-250 case w/ a 75gr A-MAX dummy round to JGS for a fast twist project. The bullet was positioned so the bearing surface / boat tail junction was just a few thou out of the neck shoulder junction. This is what they came up with. I look forward to getting this project underway. The rifle is going to be built on an adjustable McMillan Game Scout, Surgeon 591R & Krieger 1:8 RV @ 24".

I started my project today . I pulled the barrel off my Rem LH 700 22-250 Varmint . I face the action , cleaned up the threads and Lapped the Lugs . I have the Shilen SS, SM # 4 Barrel 1&8 twist indicated in the Lathe and now ready to cut the Tenon and Thread, i'm using a Holland SS .250 Recoil Lug and ditched the Rem Factory Lug . I also ordered from Midway 100 pieces of Lapua Brass, and a new Gre-Tan Light Firing pin assembly to go with the Timney Straight Trigger I'm replacing the Factory trigger with , I also ordered a Black Laminate Stock from Boyd. I may cut the chamber tomorrow, but may wait until Tuesday. I will post photos when I'm finished. I'm going to start with either Hod 4350 or Rel 15 and the Hornady 75 gr A-Max. I will need to find some loading data for Rel 15 and the A-Max if i decide to go this route .

The Boyd stock i ordered with with a custom LOP. Boyd said a extra seven to eight days to ship. Rifle is now chambered and the barrel cut and crowned at 24.5 inch's and installed on the action waiting for the stock to arrive to finish the build.

any updates or data for the 75 AMAX with H4350?

Just finished mine.. Gave it a go with 35.8g to 36.4g in .2gr increments of H4350 with 75gr AMAX's & didnt find anything worth a [bleep]..

My rifle loves the 75 gr A-Max and IMR 4831, grouping in .2 and .3 . IMR 4350 grouped almost as well, but the 4831 was better.

I prefer the 1-7" twist and shoot the Sierra 90 gr. HPBT!

My rifle shoots the Sierra 80 gr just as well as the A-Max but I prefer the A-Max for hunting coyotes

Bump in case any updated info out there. Figuring I'll start playing with my 8" twist 22-250 barrel as soon as deer season is over...
