Here's the skinny, I went through and loaded several rounds for my 7mm Magnum and .22-250 to shoot a ladder test. I've had these loads completed for a month or so and was planning on shooting them next weekend, but today at work we were talking about reloading and I popped off the load info of what I planned on shooting and it raised an eyebrow or two!
I've used CCI 250 Large Rifle Magnum primers, instead of the CCI 200 Large Rifle Primers. Is this a bad idea????
The Speer #13 &Hornady manual and shows the 7mm to be a 250 primer, that's not the questionable one....
The one I'm concerned with is the .22-250 because it shows a Large Rifle Primer on both powders instead of the Magnum Primer......
Here's the load ranges:
.22-250 (16 rounds)
Hornady V-Max 55 grain bullet
Hodgdons H4895 powder
powder charge from 32.5 to 35.5 grains
.22-250 (20 rounds)
Hornady V-Max 40 grain bullet
Hodgdons H4895 powder
powder charge from 33.2 to 37 grains
.22-250 (14 rounds)
Hornady V-Max 55 grain bullet
IMR-4350 powder
powder charge from 36 to 39.5 grains
7mm Remington Magnum (10 rounds)
Nosler Ballistic Tip 140 grain bullet
IMR-4350 powder
Powder charge from 60 to 64.5 grains
7mm Remington Magnum (20 rounds)
Hornady 139 SST grain bullet
IMR-4350 powder
Powder charge from 55.3 to 61 grains
Any input is readily accepted........and appreciated!!!!
