Reloading data needed

Hi guys, I have done a bit of searching at both ADI powders and Nosler but can't get the exact info I am after.
Changing from 40gr Vmax to55g Nosler Varageddon projectiles but I can't find data for the ADI 2206H powder.
The ADI site is abit confusing as they don't list the Varageddon bullet but two other 55g bullets but the powder amounts are different for each 55g projectile.
I was hoping someone may have a recipe. Was going to tread it like BM2 and just go for 25g powder but thought I would post first.
Cheers:pacman:

Would be adopting for a different powder from adi unless you have some stashed away

Look at the data for Hodgdon h4895. It's the same as ar2206h.

26gr is listed as a max load for a 55gr

Gotta remember that!!!
Is there any Hodgdon powders in the country or are they in the same container as the adi? (sorry for thread hijack)

Thanks GWH, will start with 25g. You don't like 2206H 223 Nut ?

Yeah Canterbury Gunworks have heaps of them

Just running low and no one seems to have any in chch, but completely forgot about asking for the equivalent when I've been in town.

i picked mine up from centre fire mccarthys, hope that helps. I ve only used BM2 before which is great also, getting very good results from the 2206h though.

ASSUMING you are talking .223rem here??????
24.5grns of AR2206h is my "go to load" in milserp brass and is fine for the 50-55grn range of projectiles...that's been checked and triple checked from all sources at my disposal.
that's not a hot load and is very accurate for me.

25 grains of 2206h works best for my t3 with 55gr amax

forgot to add
before the yanks got all titchy about being sued by dickheads, load data wasn't projectile specific ...and I'm begiggered if I can see any good reason for it to be..... yeah sure a barnes type vs a super soft cup n core will be SLIGHTLY different pressure wise if both the same weight as the copper one is longer and has more bearing surface...but not enough to push you out to edge of safe pressures UNLESS OF COURCE you are starting at or above book max to begin with.
all load data gives warning to start lower and gradually work up.

Iam running a T3 also, 25 should be cool, looking forward to the Varmagettons, 40gr vmaxs were good but like to try something different.

35 vmax would be interesting :D

Only problem Northdude is they ( the lighter pills ) get pushed around by anything more than a gentle breeze, 223 isn't great in the wind anyway. At long ranges and even medium range the drift is nasty to contend with.

yea i know i run them in a hornet i just stick to bulk soft points for the 222

Have you thought about using the Quickload software? It has most powders and a lot of different projectiles in its database. Let's you adjust the input for barrel length, seating depth and pressure amongst other things.

It's not a be all end all answer but it let's you crunch numbers and compare different loads before going out and buying powders and projectiles.

See review below.

Worth a look. But bl@@dy expensive to buy. Anyone else looked at it ?

It's worth it. Brilliant program that one. Very easy to use

Thanks for the input guys, went for 25gr of the 2206H, nice groups, around half inch at 100mtrs without trying too hard, definatley minute of rabbit:thumbsup:
