I worked up a varmint load using AA2200 ball & Lapua 100gr HPCE loaded 2.643" Not giving powder charge for this as it was worked up in Hybrid cases. Gave me a little peace of mind exploring combo's with little info. I used Western Powders load data for starting points.
Haven't played with seating depth yet.
AA2200 is a good ball powder in applications where it's a good fit. Seems to be a pretty good fit in 308 up to 155gr if you want full burn in shortish barrels.
I have no idea about the Temp sensitivity for 2200/Data powder? Don't hear much about this powder accept for the 6.8SPC shooters.
Also loaded some 155 eldm's @2.823" with 41.8gr of 2200 & it gave 2614 SD 4.5 for 5 rounds. I'd start at 40.8 & work up for this combo. This was not a high pressure load.
If anyone has quick load I'd love to see some numbers for the AA2200 with 100 - 155gr
Lapua 100gr HPCE .3 mil to 200y I suspect pressure is up there on this load. Primers showed some flattening, but there was zero cratering. The RCA HP bolt may be masking some pressure though.
Left target is 155 eldm's & right is the 100gr Lapua's. I'm surprised POI didn't shift more considering the almost 700fps difference in these 2 loads.
The Lapua's cut nice clean holes in paper & the front end of the bullet has a large hollow cavity below the hollow point. I think these will be devastating on varmints.
