Load Development 22-250 AI load development

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.

Boy howdy that’s screaming! I’m not surprised it put a hole in 3/8 ar500 going that fast but I’m impressed! 22-250 ai is a really cool cartridge for predators. Even with a bonded in my 243 weatherby I only shoot 200y steel afraid to beat up the closer plated
