Hey guys, I have a custom 22-250 AI with a 24" 1-9" twist barrel on it. I have been shooting 60gr. Noslers out of it with great accuracy but I would like to try some heavier bullets. I have some 75gr A-Max lying around that I wouldn't mind trying but I can't find any load data for that heavy of a bullet. The powder I would like to use is H380 because that is what I use for my 60gr. loads and I have 9lbs of it sitting on my bench. My question is how much should I back off my charge to have a safe starting load? I know how to check for excessive pressure signs, I just don't know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 22-250 AI
I have a 22-250ai also with a 1 in 8 and I shoot the 75amax with either 39gr. H4350 or 34gr varget. neither load is showing any signs of pressure whatsoever. I havent used 380 but if I did I would start with max 22-250 +1 grain for my starting loads. my current loads are both 2+grains over max with no problems.
