- Start date
Here's a run for you. I used a 55 gr BT
Code:
Cartridge : .222 Rem. Mag.
Bullet : .224, 55, Nosler BalTip 39526
Useable Case Capaci: 26.760 grain H2O = 1.737 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.280 inch = 57.91 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 58000 psi, or 399 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
89 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 85%. These powders have been skipped.
