Anyone using berger 60 and or 64 gr .224 in a 22-250?

Been wanting to give these a whirl in my 8 twist '250. Any loads you'd all share and how's the speed and explosiveness? Thanks Rob.

I've shot quite a few antelope and whitetail deer with them and their awesome, a few coyotes and they blew a hole through them. The deer and antelope they exit on when shot through the slats, on a heavy shoulder shot they would make it to the of side but not exit till your out in the 400+ yard range. We run the 60gr in the 3500 fps range and it's awesome for antelope out to 600 yards ish.

Hot load of Varget gets you 1900+ ft. lbs of energy. I like the 64's in my 12 twist.
Ramshot Big Game is also a great powder.
Superformance is also a good powder.
It peels the hide off the body on a large P-Dog in your scope. For an instant it's a red mush hairless dog.

I shot a max load of IMR 4350 in a 22/250 with the 60g, anchors dessert dogs real hard. IF, you can swing a 22/250 AI with a 12 twist, you will get 3700 out of the 60g and if you go a 22-243 AI you will get 3900+.

Thanks guys. It be in my straight 22-250 and 8 twist. The 60 sounds like it's got the edge.
