Max speed with good accuracy will be with Win 760, in a vssf I got 3850 out of the 55g Win/nosler combined tech bullets with 40.5g and win primer, can't even come close with the naked 55's.
This load shot 1 1/2" at 400 yds on a calm day.

Do you have the laminate or the Kevlar stock. I have both tho I haven't had the chance to wring out the Kevlar one yet.
50gr Nosler BT 35 gr Varget Winch case and WLR primer got me 3750 fps and will shoot 5 shot 1/2 " all day long
40 gr BT 37.0 gr IMR 4064 got 4060 fps and the Pdogs do not like it a bit.
You need to try Accurate 2520
40 gr BT on top of 37 gr got me 4080 and 1/2 " groups with no heat problems and shoots very clean. Runs thru a measure like water.

RL 7 will run them easily at about 3750 fps.. despite what others think....

no one looks at Rl 7 anymore.. because it has been around so long... same thing with IMR 3031...

You guys that are using RL15 powder, any of you try it with 40gr Nosler BT's? I got both on hand and will be the first combo I try once my new 22-250 shows up.

no but factory book loads will run them at 4130 fps predicted.. and up that a grain, and it will run them 300 fps faster...

convert that over to a 35 NTX lead free and you are way over 4500 fps...

ackley33806,
Its the wood stock, very nice gun. I have been shooting the factorys until I get the brass stock up and it is really accurate. Still so many choices.... Bagged an 8pnt yesterday so I can get back to loads and targets.

+1 for IMR 3031 with a 55 grn V-Max. My Rem 788 will consistently shoot .5-.75 groups all day. While its not the under .25 groups often discussed here, for any hunting I do its plenty.

Seafire,

Where are you finding RL-7 data for the .22-250?

As you can see, your .22/250 will probably work with many medium burn rate powder.

I have owned 2 rifles so chambered, an ADL from 1972-1985, and a M70 with a Shilen barrel since 1985.

I have mostly used 55 and 60 grain bullets with IMR 4320, 4895, 3031, H414, IMR 4064, IMR 4350 powders. With both rifles the accuracy difference was negligible despite what powder was used.

So, as the man said try what you have on hand.

If your starting fresh pick one of the listed choices and you should get great results.

ok, well, does anyone have any experience with the new CFE 223 for use in .22-250 and .308?

its a fairly interesting powder, from what i have read, but nobody seems to have any actual experience with it.

I'm shooting CFE 223 in a 22-250 using 50gr bullets (vmax, , zmax,varmint extreme, etc.) Really love this powder in the 250. It shoots with excellent accuracy and is fast. 37gr is giving me 3,900 fps with a 26" 1x14. Haven't even tried to go past the minimum loading recommendation. Gives good ES and cleans up easily after a lot of shooting.
