Default 22-250 and Barnes Matchburner bullets

Has anyone tried this Barnes 52 gr Matchburner bullet in the 22-250? I am working up a load for a friend and from the little I have found, this could be a fur friendly bullet in the 22-250.
I worked up a load for him using the Barnes 36 gr Varmint Grenade and while is is very fast and accurate, he is having to spend too much time sewing hides and told me he will definitely not shoot a bobcat with one of them. I personally did not have that issue with them in my 220 Swift but I also do not kill as near as many coyotes as my buddy does.
So, I am looking for anyone who has shot this bullet/caliber combination. My plan is to use H380 and work up a load for him. I did call Barnes and spoke with their technical people and was told they are so backed up they do not even have any load data they can share with me for that bullet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
