I have a 22-250 vssf looking to gain some knowledge from you experienced loaders out there.  I am new at this and was looking to be pointed in the right direction on what loads I should start with.  Planning on using 50gr Hornady v-max bullets, what powders should i try?

I get good accuracy with Varget using the 50 grain V-max
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

50 grain V-Max's and H-414 will shoot in the 1's(0.100") when the old fart owner is on his game. I've got a couple dozen tacked up on the walls of my shop. Try seating .005" off the lands and work up. Mine likes 41.0 gr. but you must work yours up to see whats max in your rifle, no two are the same.
