Comments: VERY HOTincrease load sloowwwly. Shoots .5moa. Turns squirrels into pink mist. That group is 200 yards (bench and bipod)and not cherry picked. THOSE THAT DO NOT DEVELOPE THIS LOAD WITH STANDARD RELOADING PROCEDURES DO SO AT THEIR OWN PERIL!

I run this load in a standard Ruger M77 and it has performed very well. Groups hav e been to around.5 moa at 200. Twist rate is a 14 twist 26"

40grain Vmax or Nosler Balistic works well also
39.5 grains varget
CCI 250 primers
Various case manufacturers
COL 2.350"
Works plenty good for pdogs

The old std tried and proven load of:

38.0gr - H380
any good match 52gr bullet
F205M

I've never seen a decent 22-250 14tw that didn't shoot this load very well.

I have used this load with 52 gr. Speer bullets for many years with great success in several rifles. Use 210M primers also

Remtington Factory barrel 1 in 14 twist
Remington Factory brass full lenght sized
(1) 52gr Sierra Match King HPBT(3750fps)
41.0grs Winchester 760
Federal 210 Match
.10 off lands
(2)52gr Sierra Mach King HPBT(3550fps)
35.0grs IMR 4320
Federal 210 Match
.010 off lands

Both loads work excellent and shoot in sub 2's 5 shot groups.

IMR 4320 is one of my favorite powders in the 22-250 and 223 with 55gr Blitzkings as long as I was hand weighing every powder charge.
