No one can tell you what will work best for your rifle. Results can vary even from one rifle to the next that are the same make and model. The bullet you have chosen and the powders you have indicated are good places to start. According to the Sierra 5th reloading manual starting loads for Varget are 32.1 grains and max is 36.1. For IMR 4895 starting is 32.0 and top loading is 34.9. This is with the 55 grain bullet and OAL as 2.350" with your bullet, Fed cases and Fed210M primers. They list an accuracy load as H380 38.0 grains. Again it will not necessarily make it the most accurate in your rifle. Get your self some loading manuals ( they cost somewhere around two boxes of cartridges or less) study them and read lots on the Internet. Proceed cautiously, start with the lowest listed powder charge and work your way up in .5 grain increments. I work with a guy that really likes Varget for his 22-250, but again you may find some thing else that works better. Sierra did. When you find the perfect combination it is very satisfying. That is half of the fun of reloading. Good luck to you.

Every rifle is different, so you will have to find out what works in YOUR rifle.

Here's what works in my Rem 700 Varmint
