22-250 favorite powder

[Redmt]

Does anyone have a favorite powder for 22-250? I'm going to load 62 gr. Barnes. I have a bunch of listed powder for the caliber, but I'll be out of bullets before trying most of them.

What's the twist of the gun?

Thats a long bullet.

1:10 should handle a 62 gr.

 

[Redmt]

Even if I drop back to 55gr. There's still a bunch of the powders I have on the shelf.

I have always used H380. Lots of people like varget. When I was load developing it was tough to find so I never played with it

 

[Redmt]

Varget is one I have a few pounds of along with 4166, H and IMR 4350 Staball 6.5 and a few others that I can't think of at the moment.

I use H-414 but it has been discontinued. I believe the burn rate is the same as win 760. H-380 has also been good as well as 4064. I'll use up the H-414 but it will take a while I have 10+ pounds.

Staball 6.5 and superformance for top speed.

My 22 250 and 62 gr Varmageddon loves Varget. It is not necessarily fur-friendly, but they're dead!

 

[Redmt]

4064 is out! I thought I had some but thought wrong

IMR 4064. Have shot it out of multiple 22-250's. Will hate to see when I run out of it.

4064 and Varget are very similar burn rates. If you have Varget I would start there
