Varget is the best 22-250 powder. Massive pressure and accuracy plateau. WOW, lots of empirical research done here .......obviously !!!!!!!!

When things are not always as you would like them and you can't find stuff you really want you make some changes. Lately I've been running 8208 in lighter bullets reloader 16 heavier. Now when I say Heavies I'm talkin 75 to 90 gr . I have a Tikka Varmint in 22/250 and have about 4 pounds of 8208. I was told all sorts of things about this cartridge in 14 twist, including some saying would barely stabilise a 55gn bullet. I found that it not only shot well with 55gn Vmax, 55gn Sierra BTHP, but the 62gn Sierra Semi Point also did well. 8208 is a great powder.

Back in the 70s l got into chuck hunting started with a rem. 700 in 222 that lasted half season, traded it for a Savage 112V single shoot w26" barrel l did all the IMR powers they were OK, then tried Winchester Ball power, best was Winchester ball power BR 748 35.5g running around 3500fps with Sierra 52 53g match king and 55g never looked back on the IMR powers. l'm still using BR 748 now in my Rem. SPS in 223.

Ar comp has been working good for me recently. Loaded up some bullets that supposedly tumble like a mother fu cker in everything, but AR Comp worked just fine.. Bullet was 53gr v max and that powder produced 10 shot sub moa groups. Easy peasy..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

20 years ago I had a Remington 700VLS in 22/250. I only used two powders : Varget & W748. Both worked a treat!
