Kind of a Question if you load for 22-250
 

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!

Ballistic tips and IMR-4064 or H-380.

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

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

winchester nozler ballistic tips.h380 powder

Hornady 60gr. SP and Varget

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.

50 gr Ballistic tip over Varget

Yep, what he said. :)

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

Will Post Results
 

Hey guys! I have gotten the best response to my question on this web site but responses are coming in from other sites as well.
I'm going to give it a week and them I will post the results. This has already been informative to me. Thanks guys, and it their our some of you who haven't contributed. Please do!

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.

Barnes Varminators using H-380 and IMR 4064 the bullets are super accurate and perform very well!

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:

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.
