need speer #9 22-250 load info
My speer no. 9 manual has been lost or stolen over the years. It had a couple great loads I loved to use in my 22-250 with a 55g spitzer. If anyone has the manual and can share the information on loads using the 55g bullets it would be appreciated. I wish I could remember the load off the top of my head but it's been years since reloading for this cartridge.

Do you remember what powder it was? Try this link
http://www.castpics.net/LoadData/OM/Speer6.pdf It's not a 9 but you may find the load you want. I think I have a 12 at home. Last edited by 1stmar; October 14, 2014 at 07:33 PM. |

Not sure why #9 is unique. My current version (#14) shows 55 Spitzer SP and TNT HP with a max of 35 gr IMR-4895, COAL 2.35 (SAAMI max) yielding 3,421 avg.

Cause of my favorite load it had. I currently have a Sierra 3rd edition and it shows max at 35.5 grains of imr 4895 but I'm sure my speer no. 9 was 36 something grains I used. It was a hot load yet very accurate

You should use more recent data as powders may have changed a bit. You can always start low and work up to 36gr. I've found a lot of powders work well in 22-250. Varget, 4064, 2230 ..
