24.5gr of Win748 had one flyer and also shot about the same to the left.
will try 23.5gr of AR2206H next. That's almost as much as what will fit in the case. Listed max is 25gr but there is no way that will fit in the case.
Might just be that these .22mag bullets shot to the left for whatever reason.
yet to do the same with the speer 46gr flat nose I have. I'm trying to find a velocity high enough to get them to be more expansive. at the moment at 2550fps they are lacking. No 'bang flop' effect.
Think I'm abandoning the idea of reduced loads. The only bullet I've found that will expand at reduced load velocity are the .22mag JHP's but they are hard to get (once this supply I have runs out I expect to never be able to get them again) and shoot to the left.
I'm truly surprised you have trouble with expansion with those speer flat points,I run them at a theoretical 1800fps and they blow s**t apart. I'm also lucky enough that they did match the hot load I had the rifle sighted in for at the time.
I honestly don't know why anyone wouldn't think different loads shoot to different places,its more the norm than the exception I've found.
