I load the HO 2266b(soft point) bullet over 25.0 g of h335 and have super consistent V readings and sub Moa accuracy for a good ways out. I see that the 55 gr vmax is in the same category of data in the manual where a max of 23.2 g is the max. so I've never seen pressure signs or had the first issue with loading to 25g. The soft point is .370 - .373" base to ogive. the vmax measured exactly .413 every single time. very consistent bullet. It's just hard for me to believe I can't load these vmaxs up to 25 g as well and have better results. I loaded to the manual max and got 2800 fps. the soft points run in the 2990s consistently for me.
I made a charge ladder ranging from hornady s max up to what I use for the soft points at 25 g h335 @ 2.26".
also I set the sp's to 2.20". the .06 offset would make up for the bullet length difference.
Agree, disagree?, Any opinions or real world experience ?
I will know this time tomorrow , and will record the data, just like to hear if I'm in safe territory? I worked up slow.
