reloading 22-250

RE: reloading 22-250
I wish I could. After trying about 10 different loads, I still couldn't get better groups than factory Hornady Varmint Express 55gr. 1/4" 5 shot(one hole) groups at 100yds. I don't shoot it a whole lot(mostly groundhog hunting a few times a year), so I just bought about 10 boxes of that ammo on sale. Should last me quite a while. Can't complain about how they shoot <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I loaded the Hornady 60 grain SP with 34.0 grains Varget. Very good load Chrographed, 3445. 3456,3445,3460 and 3474. I was trying for about 3500 fps. I am trying to extend the barrel life as I really like the rifle. A 700 ADL synthetic 24 inch barrel. I am sold on Varget for the 22-250..

RE: reloading 22-250
The load I have been using for several years now and see no need to change is 35 grains Varget under a Nosler 55 gr. Ballistic Tip at 3635 fps. These loads are capable of sub 1/2" groups from a factory varmint rifle if I can do my part.
