Since Nosler has yet to have any loads for the 22-250 AI and the 60 grain BT in their on-line database, let me offer this.

RL22; 44-45 grains, CCI 250 primer, for 3525-3550 fps (26 inch barrel, 1:12 twist).

Happy varminting!

Thanks for the info.

Where did you come up with an OAL of 2.430? Nosler #6 has 2.350 and my rifle is 2.487 for .005 off the lands. Oh well.

Funny that H4831sc and IMR4831 did not show up in your data. They are listed in #6 for the 60 grain Partition at 95% and 93%.

ETA: Pic below, 45 grains of RL22, 10 rounds, 100 yards.

It does not matter if one is a good shot or a bad shot because one is not aiming at the coin! YMMV. :wink:

Nice shooting!
I like the looks of that AI case! I'd say the 1:12 twist works just fine in your 22-250AI.

I am going to test some 60 gr BT's in my 1:14 twist 22-250 when I get some time. All loaded and ready to go.
