Someone with a Barnes manual...

Bought some XLC today without realizing that you need the very specific load data for these coated bullets.

Can someone be kind enough to look up one recipe's max and min charges?

22-250
Win Brass
Rem Primer
IMR 4320
53gr. XLC FB

Can't find XLC recipes in all the usual online places.

Thanks

Thanks bigcountry. Turns out I did have the recipe in one of my lesser consulted cartridge specific manuals. I never would have guessed they'd be up to date with the coating.

Tonight I loaded:
34gr 4320 53gr XLC FB

33gr 4320 60gr NP

12.5gr Blue dot 50gr Ho. SP

Three of each so that if I can wake myself up early enough tomorrow I can swing by "my range" and fire a group of each on the way to work. Maybe it won't be miserably hot that early either[&:]
