Default .22-.250 Loads?

Anyone know of any good loads for a .22-.250 using it for shooting long distances on Coyotes. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Most 22-250's I have shot will shoot with H380 and 55grn projectiles. I will not quote a load for this, but you can look them up and find more loads than you can shoot in a month!!! Try on H380, Varget or IMR 4064 and most 250's like the 50-55grn range. It will run you in the 3500-3700fps area. GREAT 'Yote slayers!!!!
If you are wanting more velocity, you can go the to 40-45grn area, but will gain more wind drift and loose energy at the longer distances.
You will also want to keep an eye on case length as you go. It will have to be trimmed more often the hotter you go for the brass flows more easily. Good shootn!!!!!

Mine likes 52gr Amax's and 38 grains of H-380. Perfect

I have found that a 50 grain SP hornady with 35 grains of 43 20 i think i would have to check works very well. So far i have had great success with this load i have shot out to 350 yrds and it is dead on but some guns may do different with different loads hope this helps

i use 55gr. sierra blitzking's and speer 52gr. H.P. most shots for me are under 100yds. i hit a red squirrel once at 150yds with the H.P's and it was like a invisable foot kicked it. nothing left..

I load IMR 4320 @ 35.5 @ 3700 FPS for a 55 gr bullet - If you like more speed try the Nosler 40 gr @ 4000 fps.Either one ,you should have a group like this - (*) all three rounds should be touching.
