How hot is this load?

[darcy32171]

Just getting into reloading. With a Savage Axis 22-250. Seen this video on youtube shooting at jugs 445yrds away. He is using: Barnes 36gr Varmit Grenades, 36gr of TAC. Hot hot is a load like this? Since the 22-250 has a short barrel life with hot loads. Here is the video if you care to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaYF8zZFmyg

I load 36gr Barnes varmit granades for my 22-250. They are high velocity bullets (min around 3960 fps to max of 4400 fps. Going to a larger grain bullet will drop your velocities a little.

I use BL-C2 and barnes states min load of 37 gr and max load of 40.5 gr. As per Barnes website load data.

Lymans states a max load for TAC of 37 grs (with a velocity of 4038 fps). For TAC I would not recommend going over 37 grs or under 33 grs.
