I'm looking for some data on reduced loads for the .22-250. Something along the lines of 2500-2700fps with a 45 or 50grn bullet. Basicly .22 Hornet ballistics out of my .22-250. I have some areas close to town that are legal to hunt but alot of people get jumpy when they hear loud gun shots and get on the phone to the cops, it's ruined a couple hunts for me. I thought maybe something with a little less muzzle blast would help out. I'm only shooting 150yrds tops so a full power .22-250 load isn't really needed.

Thanks
Tim
 
from old speer manual number nine for 55gr. fmj bullet.
IMR 4064 start load 22grs.-2453 max load 24grs. 2695 fps.

IMR 3031 start load 21grs.-2457 fps. max load 23grs.-2704 fps.
start low and work up watching for pressure signs .
used to use these on coyotes sometimes lots of tracking involved.

You can check out accurate loading.com and search bluedot 220250 and get opinions from many others who have tried it. The main guy with the good info is Seafire. FS
