Thread: First hand loaded shots 22-250

It is a 22-250 1:12 twist Savage shortened to 21" and suppressed.

I don't have access to a range so all my shooting is field shooting with a good rest but not a solid rest hence why I'm relatively happy with the results so far.

I do all my reloading on the same day usually Sunday mornings while my wife is sleeping in. I neck size and trim all cases and at the moment I am having to just reuse whatever brass I have from factory rounds, eventually I will be able to use all the same brass.

I think the lack of close grouping is definitely down to me as when I shot the factory at less than MOA it was with a proper bench rest.

All primer pockets get cleaned and I use a hand primer that sets the primer just under flush.

I'm awaiting on the SI chrony so I can see what speeds I'm getting and if they are close to what's claimed for this calibre I'll be happy.
