    22BR LEVERevolution Load Data

    I thought about trying Lever in my AR if I run out of TAC.

    22BR LEVERevolution Load Data

    The barrel will be 20”, 1:8 twist, .252 neck, .050FB, Lapua brass neck turned to .248 w/ a bullet seated. I will run my loads over a magnetospeed and use that to monitor temp sensitivity. I expect to end up between 2900-3000fps. I’m no newb when it comes to working up safe and accurate loads but...

    22BR LEVERevolution Load Data

    Do you think 26gr would be a safe place to start with the 80ELD? I'm sure it won't be over pressure but I also don't want to get a bullet stuck in my brand new custom barrel.

    22BR LEVERevolution Load Data

    After compiling a ton of 224 Valkyrie and 22-250 data it looks like my MAX load will be somewhere around 28.5gr so I was a little high on my original estimate. If I reduce this by 10% it puts me at 25.7 which is basically the book MAX for LEVERevolution in 224 Valkyrie according to the few...

    22BR LEVERevolution Load Data

    Because it's in the correct burn range and there have been numerous reports of great velocity and accuracy in cartridges ranging from .223 Rem and 224 Valkyrie up to .308 Win and it is readily available. It's in the Hornady Reloading Manual for 224 Valkyrie with 88's.

    22BR LEVERevolution Load Data

    Got a 22BR barrel due to arrive at the end of the month and due to powder shortages I'm looking to run LEVERevolution in this rig. I expect good velocity with 80gr ELD's provided I watch my pressure in the heat (not too hot here in Michigan) however I'm unsure of where to start with this...

    Short Barrel 22BR

    I think the dasher will have too much gas volume for my 5.56 can.

    Short Barrel 22BR

    I do appreciate the input. To be honest I was leaning hard towards a .223AI until I heard some mixed results with 88gr velocities. I’ve been researching this for a couple weeks trying to make a decision.

    Short Barrel 22BR

    I’ll probably only shoot a few hundred rounds a year. I’m very familiar with ackley cartridges as I’m currently dismembering a 260AI which will be the platform for this build (parts for sale ;)). I love that you never need to trim an AI case and the rifle is stupid accurate but it’s way too...

    Short Barrel 22BR

    That’s pretty impressive. What powder and charge weight?

    Short Barrel 22BR

    I read through that thread extensively while trying to choose an intermediate .224 cartridge. Some good info there.
