I'm using benchmark in my Tikka 22-250 - I chose it over CFE223 because of the temp stability.

Getting 3850 FPS with 50 gr v-max - 24" bbl. The load is slightly under the max load listed by Hogdon.
You could push them a lillte harder in my gun - but these group < 1" (4 shot group )

SD 12fps ES 27FPS

Never tell your problems to anyone. 20% don't care and 80% are glad you have em.
