Thread: Newbie wants to reload for 22-250

Got out to the shed early this morning and put these first 9 handloads together.

Once fired brass (fired by me)
ADI 2208 powder
Federal large rifle primers
55gr Sierra Blitzking boat tails

Hopefully get out and test them this week, started at the recommended minimum for powder at 34gr.
I didn't have a ammo holder so knocked this one up quickly (don't laugh).

Thanks everyone for the advice so far.

Greetings Happy Jack,
My loading blocks are made from 12 mm particle board with holes drilled right through, fifty holes per block. A 1/2 inch or 13 mm spade bit is ideal for the job and use a drill press if you have one. Next tack on a base of 4.5 mm hardboard or whatever over some PVA glue. I have made up two blocks each for the three case head sizes I use. I have found these great as they don't take too much space when stacked in my shelves. Being a bit on the OCD side mine were also clear finished.
Regards Grandpamac.
