6/250 short range load

[ptf18]

List: Looking for a 200-300 yard load for my 6/250. Im thinking of using 70-85 grn bullets maybe even something like Gamekings.

Any idea? ive got Varget,AA4350,Data 86 and 2330C powders.

For a number of years I used 31.5 gr of Varget with either a Sierra 85 gr BTHP GameKing or an 87 gr Hornady BTHP. I had many "double cleans" in the rapids at 200 and 300 yards with this load out of different 6mm/22-250 rifles and barrels. It's a mild load but it shot great across the boards, and if I remember correctly the bullets were going in the neighborhood of 2950 fps.

I have heard there have been some slow lots of Varget in recent times, but I am certain what I shot is not from these reported slow batches and lots.
