The 80.5 Berger is a superior bullet!

Winchester Staball 6.5, Hornady 75 grain BTHP. I didn't find load data for this particular bullet. I ran some ideas through Gordon's Reloading Tool. At 40 degrees F my velocities were about 4to 6% higher than predicted by GRT. I stopped working up when I hit 3,310 fps when 3100 was what was predicted. No pressure signs. Very low SD and good accuracy.

But, mine is Ackley Improved so there's that. Hodgdon does publish data for 22-250 and Staball 6.5 so I think you will have results similar to mine.

R16 is outstanding with those bullet weights.

I have had good luck with H4350 and H414. With those bullet weights in my 8 twist 22/250 Ackley's. RE-22 with 88g it's a 7 twist barrel on that one.

If you have H4831 it works well also.

I use H4350 with 75's in my 22-250 AI, it works great....

I used H4831SC in an AI with an 8 twist. Shot fantastic for 10 to 12 shots of a match. Then no bullet would stay in one pc because of the barrel heat.
