Finally got around to load developing mine, been busy on my other rifles which are proving difficult.
69gr targex, over 2206H. 2790fps average. Job done, time to mass produce 90x and bring home some free range critters
@gimp have you tried AR 2206H with those 80gr ELDM's? I see you use 25gr of 2208 but was wondering what that may convert to using 2206H.Quote:

Thanks Adam
Yeah kiwi Greg tried 2206H when developing loads and it was closer to 2900 at max, didn't get as good accuracy tho
I'm using CCI450s
Last evening. 150 yds. 80 grn Targex (powder H2206).
Point of shoulder heart shot.

Youd be walking around in your shorts in there tahr.A glowing flu makes a hut very warm.
What rifle and barrel length? Very similar load to what I have for my Howa Mini. Mine 0.2gr less, but haven't really mucked around too much with it yet.Quote:

A simple and tidy solution is to run a couple of sheets of baby iron up the two walls behind mounted on Rondo battens with airflow allowed by gapping the iron off the floor and leaving a gap at the top. My guess is that a camping type burner like that doesnt come with an install spec ?Attachment 203252
I will measure the distance from the flu to the wall. I did put my and on the ply and it was only just warm.Quote:

Good points about distances, perhaps pop a reflector on the flue or a couple sheets tin on the wall?
Just finished working on a load with Hornady 60gn V Max bullets / 2206H powder and now want to load some Hornady 73gn eldm .
The ADI website suggests for a 70 gn bullet starting at 23gn and a max of 25gn ( 2206H powder ) , and for the 75gn bullet 22.5gn- 24.5gn
Logic would say in the middle of these recommendations would be correct for the 73gn , is that correct ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
heck I use 24.5-25grns wit ha 55grn and consider it hot enough..... its your rifle,your eyes n hands next to it... but yip your calculations look correct.
if you use data for the weight ABOVE the weight you have...you will be fine.
Sick of the rain and being cooped up inside...its been 2 days :) Im packed and ready for a night away tomorrow. .223 is ready.

The 70 grain Speer is a very blunt projectile that has to be seated deep so you would be better to use the 69 grain Sierra for your comparison. You would be lucky to get much more than 24.5 grains of AR2206H in the case without compression depending on mag and throat length.Quote:

that mere 24.5grns of AR2206h is all some of us...well ME ...have used for over 20 years with 50-55grn projectiles and have NEVER once considered it underpowered.Quote:

My Load for 69 grain Targex in the same size mag length as yours is 25.2grns of 2206H. Compressed load but not overly so.Quote:

Its time you bought yourself a foto taker and joined in. :)Quote:

Using microsoft phone link , is the easiest for me. Google it there is videos about it.
If you use cardboard wrapped in insulation tape you can reuse the tape for muzzle tape, closing up knife whoopsies and all sorts of useful stuff.Quote:

What is that stock compared to the standard one. More comfortable? Curious. They look nice.Quote:

Thanks for that, I have loaded 23gr, 23.5gr and 24gr of 2206H with the 80gr ELDM's to give a crack next time I'm at the range.Quote:
