When Bruce Hodgdon first tried this (at the time, un-named
surplus) powder, he found that 38.0 grs with a 52 gr bullet out
of his 22 Varminter(now the 22-250 Rem) produced one hole
groups. The powder is Hodgdon H380. The recipe holds true
today. 38gr H380 with a 50-52gr bullet will very often produce
tight groups on the first try with the 22-250.
