dicehorn Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 22.250 not an R8 but Blaser R93. Seat your bullets with a COL of 2.350" as a starting distance and do an OCW test with various weights of powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve123 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Not a Blaser but I am using Bergagra HMR with a 1 in 9 twist barrel and 53g max. So far they shoot around 3530fps with 35.8g Vat N140. I tried several different worked up loads and also different seating depths from 10 to 120 thous off the lands. You may find that they are a bit long for your twist rate barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 55 and 50 blitz worked well in a 12 twist i had , it shot 63 and 65 grainers too but was 223. Next step try 50s if not acceptable with 53s? Sorry couldn't be better help . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjs66 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Nosler 50g B/Ts and 37g N140, 36g of H4895 (3800fps for both) or Sierra 55g Gameking 1365s with 36g of N140 (3600ish) , all loaded to 2.350 to get single ragged holes at 100 yards from my R8.
