    I am needing load data for the .22-250AI. I am planning on shooting 75gr A-maxes from a 26" 1-8 twist. After looking in the reloading depot, I was able to find only one entry using RL-22. Thanks in advance!

    There's a good website called LoadData.com It's a good resource although they do charge a yearly due. I use it often.

    I built one early this year and the customer is running A-maxs with alot of luck. I don't know his powder or charge although I know he took a nice buck at beyond 300 yards with it - he said it blew through both shoulders.

    I received my best velocity and accuracy with H-414 and the 75 A-Max. I am getting 3350, but mine is the standard 22-250. So you should be able to push 3500 with that AI. That is pretty fast. I talked to a couple of guys who had the AI and they said at 3500 fps they are pretty tough on barrels. But what the heck, let the big dog eat. H-414 is also their go to powder.

    My rifle wears a Krieger 28", 1in8 twist.

    Get some of the new lapua brass and you might even get a little more out of her. I have 300 pieces on order. Tom.

    I had a 22-250AI w/ a 26" Krieger 1-9" twist. H-414 was also my choice powder using Horn 75 HP's @ 3500 fps. Still have data and chrono sheets, PM me and I'll get it to you.

    I've got the same (26"bbl, 1/8 twist) and using the same bullets and I am using 32 gr of Varget .006 off the lands

    although not an AI I have a 22-250 with a 24" 7 twist barrel and I run 80amax at 3200fps with 33.5grns of Varget. When I did run 75's I was getting 3300 w/ 34grns of Varget.

    I started out with starting loads listed for the 220 Swift.My formed Ackley cases hold about the same volume of water as the swift. Pete
