Default Other .22-250 recipes not using Hodgdon powders

I have tweaked my Hodgdon powder loads so I have it to a science. Im consistently shoot 1/2 MOA groups at 100 yards using Remington brass, 38.6 grains of H380 and 50 grain partition bullets. I want to know if anyone else has any recipes i could try. I know results will vary from barrel to barrel but i want to try something new.

I am going to try some RL-15 and 10x, with the 50gr V-Max, this weekend. I'll let you know how it works.

I have used AA 2230-C but used up my 8lb jug and have returned to 4895.

Try Varget and V-Max 55 gr. I've loaded H-380 for years and it still performs best in one of my 22-250's with Nosler BT's. But I have one that shoots both well and another that likes the Varget & VMax better.

I load the following for hogs and it scrambles their insides, six hogs shot, 140# - 340#, none going more than 20 yards. Load: 53gr. Barnes solid copper TripleShock push along by 35gr Varget. Inch groupings at 100 yards in my Savage 22-250.

RL-15 gave me the fastest velocity and tied with H380 for the best accuracy. I was getting 3800fps with 50gr V-Max's.
