Need 'Pet Loads' for Upcoming 22-250 Cartridge Guide

[k80skeet]

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.

Yes, I agreed 100% 35grs and a 53gr Sierra Match King bench rest bullet. Results one tiny little hole. That is the load that is the very best in my Remington 40X.

I had a bunch of Nosler 40 gr BT on hand. 37 gr of Varget shoots very well, taking it to Montana for prairie dogs.

While I'm sure some loaders have had luck with someone else's pet loads, I have yet to see someone else's pet load give me what I'm looking for. That said, if they also provide you with the barrel specs like length and twist rate, their pet load often gives me a starting point to develop my own load without wasting components loading from min to max. More times than not though, I still end up going through the process anyway because when I load their load it is a scatter load in my rifle.
