Before you get into that...what is the twist of that new rifle? Are you sure it will stabilize a 75 grain bullet?

I think the Sierra manual has load dope for their 69 MK in .22-250. You might resort to the SWAG method, then subtract another 5%. Seriously, you should be able to cautiously extrapolate a starting load, then work up.

As always, tread lightly.

Here is a load I use in my 22-250AI for the 75 grain AMAX. I recommend you start a bit lower than this as this is a MAX load.

Win brass, fed 210M primer, 42 grains of RL19, don't remember the velocity but it shoots extremely from my 26 inch barrel.
