AR2211 50BMG data?

Post by Mac Winter » 03 Aug 2022, 6:10 pm

I am after load data for AR2211 powder in 50BMG. I have gone back through my ADI manuals as far as 2000 and not found any mention of AR2211.

As far as I can tell it may have been used in Australian manufactured 50BMG but cannot find reference to it being a widely commercially available powder.

I’ve emailed ADI but have not had a response.

The limited burn rate info available puts it on par or slower than AR2218 so I was thinking a starting load of 200gr with a 750gr Bertram projectile should be in the right area to work up from but I’d like to hear from someone who has used AR2211 before I start.

2211 and 2210 were only ever sold as pull down powders from surplus 50BMG and 5.56 ball ammunition;
Never sold commercially and probably never intended for the general public to access - ADI might give you an answer, the might not.

Would ask the question on some American forums to be honest.

Its probably easily sorted if someone in the US can tell you how much is in some of the surplus that ended up over there
