Dwh7271, thank you for running this!
Does the QL case capacity look correct to you? I was thinking it was closer to 48 grains. A couple friends have rifles in this caliber and they re running imr7828 around 41-42 grs with a 75 grain bullet for 3425 fps. Thus my wondering about the capacity.

Dwh, while you’re being so kind, would you be able to run the same cartridge 22-250AI with the 90g Berger VLD, with a COAL around 2.800”.
Can you run the ladder that tests all powders, up to say, 60k PSI?
I’m musing a new build...
Thanks if you find the time!

I shot N140 in my 22-250AI and the Hornady 68 OTM. It did not heat the barrel up much at all. If I shot slow, it was barely warm around the chamber, that's it. worth trying! Enjoy that 22-250AI, to me it is as wicked as the 220 Swift. They say you can kill deer with that 68gr Hornady too. I only killed coyotes and a few prairie dogs. It had an 8" twist and at 200yds it would make those PDs go 5 ft high in the air, spinning to the right! It was awesome, ha.

I found a great node with mine and 75gr ELD-Ms at 3370fps using RL23. I don't shoot it hard or hot, but a slow three shot group gave me 0.58" at 300 yards during load development. I'll wring it out this summer to see what it can really do.

My Marine SIL and his Force Recon company used Black Hills .223 with the 77gr match bullet. He said it was one and done on haji! Chilled their doo-doo pronto...so it seems any decent (twisted right of course) .22 Centerfire is deadly with that 77! I have a Bushmaster Predator (8") I have only used the Federal factory with the 69gr Sierra. It hits hard too. Made my longest shot ( for me) at 405 on an unlucky cottontail. 
Here you go Bob

Useable Case Capaci: 51.539 grain H2O = 3.346 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.800 inch = 71.12 mm
Barrel Length : 26.0 inch = 660.4 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 61000 psi, or 420 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 108 %
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 !
34 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
