I also wonder what powder they are using. Im also wondering if it comes with a piece of 2x4 to help me lift the bolt after I have fired a round :D

50gr's @ 4000 fps out of a 22-250 :eek:

I would buy a box just to shoot it over my chrony.

50 GR. SIE SP IMR IMR 8208 XBR .224" 2.350" 33.0 3728 55,200 PSI 36.0 3925 62,900 PSI

4000 with a 50grn should be easily attainable.....these are "book" max loads (ie. written by lawyers) and probably tested with a 22-24" barrel.

That's right....book loads....... I still think 4000 is pushing it with a 22-24" typical barrel. That's 220 swift Territory :cool:

Ill still trying to find time to test my 8208 xbr loads......that same website is suggesting I get pretty close to 3800 fps with 55's . I will believe it when I see it.

Not sure you can get that exact powder, but this "Superformance" looks close:

Available early 2011.

A couple weeks back on Tom Greshams show, (I listen to podcast), he had a fella from Hodgdens on the show promoting the upcoming release of new powder lines that would give the hand loader the opportunity to reach the same performance as offered by the Leverevolution, and Light & Heavy Magnum loads.

I have not tried any of these ammo offering, but if you want to wring out and extra 100 fps or so it would seem like a powder worth trying.
