50gr Zmax OFFICIAL Load Thread!!!

[Wes Sage]

I ran a full range test with H335. My best 5-shot group was just over the Hornady book max, so they definitely like to go fast. I plan on further testing with hotter loads, since none of the Hornady data showed any pressure signs in my gun. The batteries were unfortunately dead in my chrono, so I missed out on that valuable data. PSA from the safety department: As a general rule, stay within book specs. Some of us have enough miles under our belts where we can cheat a little, but you have to know how to cheat safely.

Try ramshot Tac if possible. We got .25 MOA at 100, .75 at 200 with it[emoji16]

Well over. Normally 3000 to 3150

The best so far in my AR and Rem bolt gun. Killing 4" plate at 600yds.

I think that I may be a minority here. I hate to give away my favorite powder for these 50 grain favorites. But.... I swear by Alliant Power Pro Varmint. They load and shoot well in several guns.

The results of my ladder test with my 22-250 and 50 grain Z-max turned out to be 35.5 grains of Reloder 15.
