Default 22-25- & h4350

i read on another site a guy was shooting 80gr with his 250 using 4350.his barrel is a 1/8 twist.would thid be better for longer range than 380?ive always used 380 for the 250.i been reloading but was kind of narrow minded i guess

I assume you mean the .22-250 Remington.....

I've owned six of them in the last 40 years.....so I have "sperience"!

The worst powder I ever used in the .22-250 was BL(C)-2 so I only tried it once.

IMR 4350 is better for the heavy bullets [ BL(C)-2 isn't even listed on Hodgdon's website with the heavy bullets]

I heartily recommend you visit Hodgdon's website for better info and pick the powder that looks best to you....but they only list bullets to 70 grains.

I no longer shoot my 22-250 as I've graduated to the .223 Rem exclusively...but when I shot the 22-250 I used H-414 for almost all loads.....I used the same powder in the 'Swift and didn't want to keep two powders on hand......that said....the H-380, at least for the bullets in the 50-55 grain range is an excellent powder used by a lot of folks. It fails to be the best performer with the heavier bullets. H-4350 and H-380 are roughly equivalent with the heavier bullets in velocity....however IMR-4350 does a bit better. This is per the Hodgdon website.....again this is highly recommended reading!

The bullet I used for long range in the .22-250 was a Sierra 60 grain hp and H-414....but H-380 is right there with it!

Unless your rifle has a fast twist, the heavier bullets are strictly academic.....you probably can't stabilize them.

Default 22-250 powder

For my 22-250 and 220Swift I find that IMR4064 and RL15 work the best. Both of my rifles are 1in12 twist so I have limited myself to 60gr bullets.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!
