Thread: 22-250 Ackley Improved Load Development

Almost too easy, right?



Next up, some 50gr Barnes TTSX. I have a handful of these and figured that at close to mach 4, they'll be as good on wallabies as they'll be on pigs and fallow. And there's no risk of them blowing up from the insanely high speed and rate of spin. Out of curiosity, I used some Federal 243 brass that I sized down to 22-250 AI (mechanical forming vs fireforming) over some AR2208...



I also wanted to try some 69gr TMK's, as these have always been an easy-to-get-to-shoot bullet in 223 and I have a feeling the 88gr ELD-M's will require some seating depth testing. I went for a much higher charge of a much slower powder...



No slouch!
