.22-250 Remington (Handloader issue #346)
.22-250 Remington (Handloader issue #346)
Warning! A Nosler M48 chambered in 22-250 Remington with a 24-inch barrel was used to test all loads. Lapua cases and Federal 210M primers were used throughout. All loads were assembled using Sinclair expanding mandrel dies and Forster Benchrest dies in a Lyman All American 8 Reloading Press. Reduce powder charges to start loads and work carefully up to maximum. All powder was weighed and dispensed on an RCBS MatchMaster and charge weights were accurate to .04 grains. Velocities are the average of 25 shots. Unless otherwise indicated, they were chronographed at 10 feet using an Oehler Model 35P. Source: Handloader October/November 2023 issue #346.
