Who has latest Nosler data book?
« on: March 07, 2008, 08:22:03 AM »
Who has the latest Nosler data book that can give me the start and max loads for a 22-250, 55gr. balistic tip, using H380 powder, just for reference.  I keep running across conflicting data in older books and on the web.  Thanks-  Rob.

I dunno if the 6th manual changes, but the 5th shows 35.5gr start and 39.5gr max, 2.350"COL, Win brass and WLR primer.

I know what you mean by conflicting data. I have several books and it is a good thing, but it can be confusing trying to decipher what to start with. You not only have to look at load data, but twist rates too. That can have an influence on pressures. Some times they are so far away from each other that it is obvious that not every one uses the same methods to come up with their load data. I am talking about the well known big houses, not the average guy off of the Internet. I would not trust them at all. BTW the Nosler 6th edition uses a 24" Lilja 1 - 14" twist ( I think 1 - 14" is the standard rate in a 22-250) barrel and they said that the H380 was the most accurate powder tested with the 55 grainer and is with all bullets tested from 50 - 60 grains. Good Luck to you.

Thanks for the well wishes.  I made up batches of 20 rounds each from 36 grains up to 38 grains in 1/2 grain increments.  Now if I can just learn to shoot....  I would also like to make up some batches using 50 gr. bullets after this run of 55's.
