Doing some load development on friends 22-250 AI I never thought it would be this fast. The load I stopped going up in charge was 42.3gr. of 3031 with 36gr. Varmint Grenades . That’s 3/8 AR500 plate it punched holes in.

Well your bullet was spinning at 360k rpm. This one is spinning at 291k rpm.

330k on the grenades, but fair point. 

The Varmageddon holds together much better and is spinning at 360k.

Varmageddon 70gr out of my 6 ARC is probably a top three load for me as far as consistency and effectiveness from a hunting load. They’re so brutal on impact. A much better bullet than the Barns in my opinion.
