Used H380 in mine.

Thank you very much.

RL15 & H4895, in that order, were my favorites with 50 to 53s. Maybe not top speed, but not far behind. Accuracy was excellent. No pressure spikes like H380 (unsure if lot variation, temp related, or both). I hear Varget may be the cat'sass but sold my last standard 22-250 before it came out.

H 380, H 4895, and Varget all work very well.

38-39 gr W760/H414 and 55 gr bullets have done well for me.

H4895 and the link posted above by 30338 is all you need to know..

Power Pro Varmint if you can find any

Varget works extremely well in the .22-250 in 50-55 grain bullets. 3600 fps or more, great SD, temp stable, great accuracy.

I personally tried several different powders with 55 grainers and IMR-4064 gave me my best accuracy.

Jorge,

Since it was on sale here for a LONG time, $23 a pound, I started off trying a pound of Benchmark.... since trying it in several of my 22.250s, it has become my new Go To powder for the cartridge. Just started out with 33 grains, and a 53 grain V Max... between accuracy and velocity, I stopped right there....
( well since I like loads easy to remember, I changed that to 33.3 grains of Benchmark, with the 53 V Max ).

I've used a lot of loads over the years, but Benchmark did an awfully good job.

H 380, IMR 4064, H 322, IMr 4895, 3031, AR Comp, and RL 7 ( with 40 grainers for the fastest velocity), RL 15 have all been good loads to boot.
Just Benchmark was even better.

Best of luck on your project.

55 grain ballistic tip and 34 grains of Varget

H380 or Varget. 380 was always a little more accurate in my Ruger.

I load 55gr Nosler Varmagedon flat base tipped bullets over 38gr of H CFE223. I'm using the flat base bullets because one of my 22-250s is a Weatherby with a long throat.

I just picked up the 2021 Hodgdon reloading manual. The new Wincheser StaBALL 6.5 powder appears to be VERY impressive in a lot of different cartridges including .22-250. In the 50-55 grain bullets they were getting over 3800 fps. That powder also offers copper eraser and unlike just about any other ball powder is temperature stable. I'm not sure how easy it is to find but I intend to try it as soon as possible.

Not the fastest load.....
8208 XBR 34.5 grains,Berger 52 grain Match,Fed 210 Match primer.

From my Remington .22/250 with a 26" barrel the average is 3646 fps.

The above load worked pretty well on these two coyotes.
