The ruger american predator i have is 1:10 twist. While several people see "22-250" and think "30-45 gr" i see 1:10 and think 52-69 and have tested it with great success.
I'm cerious though, if 75gr will work. We have more speed from 22-250 compaired to 223. 75gr works great in my ar-15 (24" 1:8 bull barrel) but that's 2 more variables.
Because of this abnormal load idea, there's also no load data on it. I've emailed various manufactures and got no feedback other than "buy our manual, which doesn't have it in there either."
i can seat the bullet really long for magazine (magpul hunter stock, which uses pmags for 7.62). I've measured length to the lands and i'm good there too.
What i DON'T know is.. where to safely start to begin testing. Sure i would LIKE a great round but the first concern is "will this blow up in my face?"
is this something that can be deduced from "quick load" or something?
I'm sure trailboss would be safe hahaha but not quite the speeds i'm looking for in that weight group.
