Kind of a Question if you load for 22-250

[Bluegunner]

I would like to know what your favorite two bullets and what you favorite two powders are for loads in your 22-250's? Also which combination gives your best load (Bullet and power wts. would be appreciated)? Hope to hear from a bunch of you to see if any pattern developes!

[Classicvette63]

Ballistic tips and IMR-4064 or H-380.

[L. Cooper]

Ballistic tips and H380 or Varget. Various powder charges depending on bullet weight and accuracy with each one.

[Cobra]

55gr Ballistic Tips and 52gr Starkes, Varget and AA2700 for powders.

[saskshooter]

winchester nozler ballistic tips.h380 powder

[billy ahring]

Hornady 60gr. SP and Varget

[Jack]

55 Sierra spitzer boat tail or 55 Nosler Ballistic Tip.
Favorite powder is Hodgdon 380, by far. Hodgdon 414 or IMR 4064 would be second choices.

Yep, what he said. :)

Everyone is agreeing waayyyy too much. My .22-250 is better than the .220 swift. :D

Gameking BTHP then V-Max with a good dose of H-380 or Varget.

I really like IMR4064 for this caliber. Nosler Balistic Tips in 50 and 55gr. are both very accurate in my rifle. Best wishes.

Hello,

I'll also echo the 55 Nos B/T on top of H380 or Varget praises for my 22-250 Savage 112.

Peace,

Don't seel short the Sierra 52gr. HPBT. Sierra doesn't market it as a hunting bullet, but it's dynamite on woodchuck and other small game. I've been using them for years and amquite happy with the performance. Best wishes.

I have had great luck with sierra 55 gr. spitzer and h 380 at 3443 fps, mild but deadly accurate At 1/4 in X 1/2 " groups are very consist ,I some times I may drop to a 52 gr sierra to pick up some additional velocity but the h 380 is my go to load in my Sako 22-250 varminter.Also 4064 gives good results at 3400 fps as well about 1/2 in X 1/2 ' groups,hope this leads you in the right direction By the way I use only CCI bench rest primers in these loads.:cool:

[Cal Sibley]

The Sierra 52gr. HPBT is also a terrific varmint bullet on woodchuck. Actually Sierra doesn't consider this as a hunting bullet, but it's an excellent chuck killer as well as being super accurate. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes.
