.22-250 Gas gun powder recommendation

Silver $$ Contributor
Anyone got recommendations for powders to run in a 20" 22-250 gas gun that would be a safe to use in one but also help me get some more ....22-250 velocities with 50-55gr pills ? I'm loosing 300fps from book data on average for the last two powders I've tried .
Thanks
 
Don't have a gas gun ,but have 2 .22-250 XP-100 handguns. Have used only AA2015BR for over 40 years. Getting 3/8" groups. Killed groundhogs & deer out to 350-400 without problems.
 
Accurate 2520 and 2460

I mean my velocity wasn't bad with 2460 ..just didn't Wanna group and also I don't wanna use these super light varmint bullets for the most part

And not gonna lie I'm pretty happy with my current load even though it's about .223 velocity...but I'm getting. Sick of hearing " well my 22-250 runs the same bullet at 3700fps " " why hay a .22-250 when you just going that fast " yadda yadda yadda so I'm just trying to find something to get it fast to shut people up
 
Yeah I was gonna try that H380 actually bought some but I don't see any data in the hornady app so I don't touch it

Thought this stuff was better for 55 gr bullets ?
 
I would start at 36 grs and work up. In one rifle the 53 gr Sierra M shot great with somewhere around 36.5 grs. In another the bullet was the 52 gr Berger with 38.4 gr of H-380 . The Hogdon site gives , I believe 41grs as a max load with 52/53 gr bullets.
