Brand new to the forum, I'm sure I'll get plenty from it, but first up I'm trying to help out a mate who's wanting to trial both AS30N & Trail Boss in his 222 rem reloads with 55g projectiles. He's looking for the fastest powder he can get, and the ADI charts have no grainage recommendation for that load using these powders. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Gunny.
The reason they are not listed is because neither powder is recommended for use in a .222R Cartridge.
Your mate and perhaps yourself may want to think a little better and perhaps do some research before one of you create a dangerous situation. The idea of looking for the fastest powder is completely wrong, it just doesn't work that way unless you want to blow yourself up.
Go and study the ADI Data and look at the powders suggested. If you want accuracy then look at those listed in the middle velocity section.
If you look at the data (ADI) you will see "Pressure Ratings"... If you use the wrong powder (fast) and exceed those ratings for your cartridge case / chamber then you are looking at a potentially dangerous situation.
Fast velocities do not mean accuracy.
