Thread: 22-250 1:14 load advice 50/55gr loads CFE/W760

I was looking at light/handy 223’s for Wallaby/Fallow but started moving to the 22-250 and have picked up a nice Tikka that is chopped to 20inch. I sort of like the old school light, fast and flat out to 250-300. I also got a light Manatis suppressor off the forum so the expected “bark” from the shorter barrel should be tamed. Part of the reason I moved onto the 22-250 was the ability to share reloading components with my 284 Win as it uses large rifle primers and similar powders. And lastly I can always rebarrel it later to a fast twist 22-250 for heavier bullets or convert it to a 243 or whatever without much mods. It’s wearing a Vixen 3-12x40 in the old Tikka Alloy rings until I find some 1in Optilocks's someone is moving on.



Anyway enough background

I have the following components
FED210 and some WRE primers
PPU cases full length sized
CFE223 from another project
Belmont 760
100 50gr VMAX projectiles to start

I was thinking 37-38-39 for both Powders to start. Has anyone used these powders with 50gr bullets that can offer suggestions and expected velocity at 20inch?. I also have some Reloader 16 but plan on saving that for the 284.
