I do a lot of coyote hunting, year round, as well as long range shooting and varminting myself on my two farms. If I'm not mistaken you're based out of the Pennsylvania/New York area up north, which leads me to my question about your load development. Exactly how temperature sensitive is your H380 load, since I'm sure your change of seasons and temperatures are a lot more drastic than mine (Southern KY)? I'm getting into reloading and am about to start developing loads for my .22-250 and have heard that H380 usually shoots lights out but I'm a little worried about running it year round if that's the route I choose to go due to accuracy. Eventually I'm going to jump down the rabbit hole for my .224 Val... 😏 Love the vids, keep 'em coming bud! P.s. I'm chasing accuracy over speed but will definitely take this vid on primer selection into consideration.
I picked up H380 because it meters super consistently in my powder measure. Plus it is designed specifically for the 22-250. I really don't know how temperature sensitive it is. It is not marketed as temperature insensitive. As for this video I was really only concerned with how consistent the velocity was rather than how high. This video is not a good display of the accuracy of these loads/ rifle, they usual shoot much better. It was probably because I was distracted with recording my numbers and freezing my hands off. Thanks for watching and happy shooting!
@@ChuckinTV Okay, awesome! I had read some stuff where people have had some concerns with the temp sensitivity but wanted your opinion. I figured your loads were more accurate than the video depicted seeing as you've picked critters off from 500+ yards 'Chris Kyle style'. Would love to see more cut and dry technical videos in the future sprinkled in with your usual content. Real world results and testing helps us newbies out! This video is what I've been looking for for ages about primer choice for my own development! Thanks. Edit: chrono difficulties and inaccuracies aside, everything seemed pretty consistent for the temps you were shooting in, so that's a huge help as well.
@@Copenhayden I'm glad you pulled something away from this video. I sure did. We just show everything for better or for worse. This was a learning experience for me, and that's what it's about. I do plan on trying out some Reloader 16 in this rig. Alliant claims that it is very temperature stable and I've seen other people get really good results with it. Thanks again!
I don't think the data from the ProChrono is reliable. Way too many duplicates which is typically an error. The vertical stringing with that first Federal load was typical of velocity sweeps/high ES. Try to keep the time each round is in the hot chamber consistent, the H380 powder is pretty temperature sensitive. H380 1.44 fps per *. H4350 much less so but from the ES I'd say you need to tweak your charge weight a bit.
That would be an interesting test but I do have other video ideas on deck. We'll see how well this video is received before I go through the trouble. I am considering trying out some RE16, probably with the BR-2 for the next 22-250 reload video. Thanks for watching.
Chuckin' , In my 22-250 the 200s were for summer & the 250s for winter.(Alaska) Tended to throw my rounds high (250) in the summer thou. Sub 0 really messes w powder ignitions. CCI was the ONLY primers I used. Set just a tad under flush w case butt. Never had a FTF w em. DID w other brands. 55 gr Sierra blitz is devastating on wolf/yotes in my particular Ruger. Most shots 2-500 yds. 1 clean entry, no exit. Hell of a mess inside. Anything closer left an exit so I had to let em get out there before tagging em.
I have the same gun and it loves a hot load of varget (I’m running 36.5 grains of varget with no pressure signs)with 52 grain vmax with a cci magnum primer. Shoots 1/4-1/2 all day long
This Savage is definitely accurate. It has performed well with everything I've played around with. I think my part in the accuracy department was a little short that day. My hands were freezing and I was distracted with recording the chronograph readings. A buddy of mine runs Varget in his 22-250 and it shoots a steady half MOA or better. I'm gonna try some Reloader 16 next just for fun. Thanks for watching.
One of the most accurate guns I’ve owned! And i did mint have the extractor issue that you had. Mine shot everything very well around a inch from 55 grain bullets to light loads of powder so i was struggling to find a load that actually changed the accuracy, i finally found it, soy definitely keep playing with it because it will shoot. Might play with you seating depth also!! Love your woodchuck videos with the 22-250!!
Thank-you for sharing. This was a excellent comparison
Thanks for watching!
Morning buddy from 🇬🇧 👍. What was the scope you are useing. It will take time to get it right mate. Interesting video. ATVB
Interesting test, I always use BR primers.
Interesting result . I am more surprised the br2 actually worked in the cold . Where k am they fail to ignite in the cold .
I’ve never had an issue with them. And I have shot them in frigid conditions. Maybe you got a bad batch
My load was 41 grs H 380 cci b r Winchester brass 55 nosler 1 hole

What about CCI ? VS BR?
CCI 200 VS 250 mag. Oops!

B r is best get a compressed load
