1-8" twist 22-250 rem 80 gr bullet loads

I have a 1-8" twist 22-250 rem barrel and load 80gr bullets . I have been using IMR 4007ssc and have started using H4831 ssc . Has anyone else got some info on the 1-8" 22-250rem ?
 
4350/RL 19 burn rate powders @ mid 30gr charge.
With a 30"-32"Bbl 4831 burn rates powders are too slow.
 
35 grains of IMR4451 or 4350 under a 80 grain Berger does the trick for me. I need to back it to 34 grains to meet the PRS speed limit for matches. I'm liking the temp stability of the 4451.
 
I use N550 and a 75gr A-max. This combo yields excellent velocity but can be finicky with outside temp. If I do my part and adjust the charge weight accordingly ES below 20 is the norm.
 
I've used 41+/- gr Superformance with Remington 9 1/2 Magnum primer, Hornady 75 gr BTHP for great accuracy at 600 yards with a 1:9 twist Savage 22-250. Great speed also. Never chronographed but a lot flatter than any other load I have ever tried. Have shot mid 2" to 3" groups at 600 yards
 
I have a Rem 700 that I'm not happy with and since it has a .308 bolt face I'm thinking about a 22-250 or an AI 22-250 "RemAge" bbl. system. I would have preferred a 22 BR, But none of the company's that sell RemAge systems have a no neck turn reamer.
Back to the 22 250,
One point I noticed on the Nosler reloading data site under fast twist 22 250 is that all the loads they list as the most accurate were charges that had only 80 % (+-) loading density. I'm thinking that the AI design , while requiring a few more grains of powder, might help with a more complete powder burn, thus better accuracy
