Does anyone have a burn rate chart for RS powders?

 

A range buddy wants to fire RS40 through his 22-250 with 55 vmax's. No load data on the RS website to help him....I said to find a comparable powder and work up....trouble is i cant find a burn rate chart featuring RS.

 

Any help appreciated.

Going by QuickLOAD, its a bit fast for the combination. The powders RS50 and RS52 would be better. Here's the data for RS40.

 

Cartridge : .22-250 Rem. (SAAMI)
Bullet : .224, 53, Hornady V-MAX BT 22265
Usable Case Capacity: 39.656 grain H2O = 2.575 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.350 inch = 59.69 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Powder : ReloadSwiss RS 40

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 2.0% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !
