I still have a M788 in .22-250 that I bought in 1974. Loads over the years have been 52 gr HPBT over IMR4895. Later I switched to 40 gr ballistic tips over IMR4895. My current load is 50 gr ballistic tips over IMR8208. All have been well under 1 MOA.
My primary target has been groundhogs.
I got my first rifle, a Rem 788 in 22-250 in 1977. I hunted woodchucks with it every chance I got and still would if I could find a woodchuck in Pennsylvania… I still have the rifle only changing the scope. I hunted deer with it too until I got stupid and had to get a “deer” gun. Cripes, I shot a lot of deer with 50gr Sierras in front of 34gr of 3031 and never had to track a deer. Watched all but two drop in their tracks and “runners” were dead within 30 yards. Yeah, then I got a 308 to wound deer with… Not the 308’s fault but mine for thinking it was a deer slayer no matter where I hit them. I was a naive teenager.
Anyways, as others are saying, 4350 is too slow and 4064 would be a better option.
