Ran some chrono loads yesterday in my 22/250.
RL-26
22" barrel, 1/8 twist
88 gr Hornady ELD
36 gr. = 2838 fps
37 gr. =2890 fps
38 gr. =2941 fps
39 gr =3079 fps
40 gr. =3041
When I see a higher charge weight and reduced velocity that usually means the end of the line. And a very faint ejector mark on the 40 gr load confirmed it.
My old accuracy load in this 22/250 is 32.5 gr RL-15 for 3075 fps, kinda matches others experience, I find that very interesting Yep, my accuracy loads with the 88gr are right around 3,050fps, as well. BSA, I just realized I didn't state my accuracy load of 32.5 gr RL-15 was with a 75 Amax... sorry for the confusion, I haven't tried RL-15 with the 88 eldm. I haven't accuracy tested the 88 eldm load yet but the chrono group was in a verticle string 1/2" wide by 3" tall, so I have high hopes for the 39gr RL-26 load at 3000fps

You know there is a thread in the handloading forums as well? Some of us ran some tests with the 88eld match bullets with different powders. You may want to check it out. There is some good info there. Good luck with it man. The 22-250 is a fun little cartridge. One of my favorites
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
