Best load for 22-250?
« on: May 23, 2010, 11:42:41 PM »
Just bought a 22-250 encore barrel. Gonna kill some coyotes with it (hopefully). So far I've loaded with Hogden 4895 and IMR 4895 and Varget. From the min. to the max in each. All grouped about the same. Seemed to do a little better at higher velocities. Shooting 55g varmit nightmares. Any and all opinions welcome. What's your favorite load?

max charge of Varget with Nosler 55gr bt's .01 off the lands print acceptable groups for me. acceptable being 5 shots in ander a dime at 100yds. Not benchrest standards by any means but plenty good for anything i will be shooting at 22-250 ranges

36 to 37 grains varget with a 50 grain bullet just off the lands has been the sweet spot for a couple different .22-250's.

midsouth has great bullets on sale...500 for $44, 50 grain varmint nightmare bullets, try them, you will be very pleased.

I have it on good authority that the telepromter is writing a stern letter.

My pro hunter likesthe fac 50gr accu-tips. (Rem).   All but touchin groups at 100 and under 2'' at 300. Didn't see no need to load after that.
