not directly relevant to the 22-250 but moreso to the powders being discussed...

years back my coyote hunting partner and i both used .243s w/85gr SGKs and imr 4895...

he started experimenting with the 70 ballistic tip and found that varget worked much better for him with that bullet...
i liked the 70 ballistic tip but got less than desired results with either imr 4895 or varget...a friend tipped me off to the possibilities of RL15, and i found the sweet spot for my rifle, with that bullet...

as said above, you can't try every load in the books, and the rl15 info was not in any book. i called the manufacturer about it for guidance...

just be aware of other avenues...
