todays loads 22 nosler

[foxhunter]

18" barrel rather than the factory tested 24" barrel. looking for a load in an 18" barrel to come close to the factory loads.
29.8 gr imr3031 50 gr vmax 7.5 rp prim 3390
28 gr h335 62 gr hornady sp, 3054
31.0 gr blc2 62 hornady sp 3069
31 gr cfe223 62 gr hornady sp 3035
and last but not least
31.0 gr of rl15 62 gr hornady sp 3196.
factory 62 gr hp varmogetton 3092
the last load exceeded the factory 62 gr hp by 104 fps and the primer pockets were still tight. group in a stupid wind was still.75 for 5 shots, not bad for conditions and an ar rifle. NOTE all rl15 loads exceeded factory 62 hp loads.
by the way factory loads are only listed at 3100 fps with a 62 gr hp.
