Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles 22-250- Powders for 50 gr Blitzking

I've tried IMR 4350 and it shoots great but doesn't meter very well. Anyone have a load they like that meters well?

Win 760 is very accurate, and meters like water.

Ted

Good choice.

I used to use Win 760 in a Ruger .22-250 and 50gr bullets. I bet I tried 5 powders and nothing beat Win 760 to my surprise.

+ 1 on the 760

My first .22-250 lived on 50 grain SXes and 40 grains of H380 which, being a spherical, obviously meters as well as any powder possibly can.

Subsequent .22-250s I've owned preferred cylindrical powders and my measure doesn't throw those consistently so I wound up weighing every charge.

My Remington shoots the 50s well with IMR 4064 or RE15. The RE15 meters the best though. I've never tried the 760.
Brian

H335 for me.

Two of the best I've tried are Benchmark and IMR 4895 in that order.

15, but the 55 shot better.

H4895 is my favorite in the Standard 22-250 and Win 760 and Varget in the Ack Imp

I use 39 gr of H-414, WLR primer in Win brass with a 50 gr Ballistic Tip, V-Max or Blitzking as it shot the best with 50 gr bullets and gave good velocity, too. H-414 is a ball powder and meters extremely well.

I'm moving to Ramshot's Big Game as it shoots even better with the one load I have tried, and is less temperature sensitive...and it's a spherical powder, too and meters very well.

I would love to see the comic book that you got this info from...

Hahahahaha. I'm glad you know how my rifle shoots different loads. Or are you saying the H-414 is not a ball/spherical powder? Or that it does not meter well?

760 gives blistering velocities with extreme accuracy in some of my rifles. Accuracy loads are at the top of the range.

+1 for Big Game. I went from Varget to RL-15 to Big Game over the last 10 years. It shoots sub-MOA in my 22-250. It is as accurate, handles the temps just as well, and meters MUCH better.

I also switched from varget to Ramshot Big game.

W-760, AA-2700 H-414, H- 4895...pick your poison.

I too am using Reloader 15 pretty exclusively but my rifle does almost as well with IMR 4064 (and I really havent tried to work up a super load yet) that I got from a friend who no longer loaded. Not one to look 3 lbs of powder in the mouth...I said "thank you kindly".

One of the nice things Ive found about a 22-250 is that there is a LOT of combinations that will shoot dandy so when a deal on powder springs up and in the right burn rate range, I take it.


Using CCI-BR2 primers but a few are telling me to try WLR primers with Reloader. Havent yet but the combo shoots better than I can consistantly.

Both powders with this primer are shooting half inch groups or better with 52, 53 and 55 grain bullets and I'm still playing a bit with bullet seating depth.

I'm sure lots of the others will do so as well but can only add my own experiences.

God Bless.

h380 always worked well for me over all in all three .22-.250's that ive had

These have worked well for me: IMR 4895, IMR 4064,and AA2230. I hear good things also re Ramshot TAC and Big Game, but have not loaded either yet.
