Best 22-250 bullet for varmints
 

Looking for a very accurate 22-250 bullet, it's comming out of an encore bull barrell. Like to stay below 55 and prefer 45 grains.

i found that the Sierra 55Gr Hp Bt # 1390 work extremely well
i all ways pushed them with H414

you should try a v-max they work good in my 22-250

Try the 50 or 55 Nosler Ballistic tips. I have used both for groundhogs with outstanding results. They drop like they arehit with asledge hammer. My 22-250 likes them pushed by H380. It seems that my rifle doesn't really like the lighter bullets.

If the Nosler Ballistic Tips don't group well, give the Sierra Blitzking a try. My "go to" bullet in this caliber.

Of late, I'm kinda with "cataway" on the H414 thing. I was using 4064, but after a few shots over the chrono and seeing dismal velocities, I decided to crack a keg of H414 I had stored for several years and put it to good use. [/align][/align]Needless to say, the speeds were a little "off book" there as well, but with careful tuning, I got those 55gr VMax's to cluster into little tiny holes. Very, very consistent.....say 10 shots inside a dime hole at 100yds.[/align]I use Remington brass, a Fed. 210 Match primer and the55gr. VMax's. I won't give my powder charge as it's slightly over book, but it is a safe load in my gun. Speed wise it's slightly below the book's listing, and I don't need max loads, but it did needtailoring because at book powder weights, it wasn't hitting near the speeds over the chrono.[/align][/align]I never was a big "Hornady Man" or nothing, mostly a diehard Sierra fan, but with the advent of the VMax line, and the XTP's.....well, I've been likin' "red" an awful lot lately.....[/align][/align]Take care, [/align]Bob[/align][/align]

55 gr Sierra Blitzkings for my 22-250 with 35 grains of RL-15.

I like the H414 powder. I have loaded 100's of .220 swift and 22-250 rounds with it. Right now I have a pet load for my swift it a 40 gr v-max over 43 grains of H414 right around 4100fps.Any hotter and they get wild on me.

Try 40gr V-Max with 38.5gr H380 & CCI Benchrest primer. In my 22-250 it is the most accurate out of many,many bullet and powder combos tried.
