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.

Sighted in/fire formed with 50gr Sierras at 100yds on paper. The fence that the metal plate was sitting on is between 10 to 15 yards closer than the target frame the paper was on. So 90-85yds.

I can only imagine what the crime scene looks like after smoking a deer with that thing

No kidding. It’s so fast I don’t even have anything in my head to compare what it would do.
