New 22-250. Looking for a place to start

Something else to consider, is the bulk bullets from Midway. The Hornady 55-grain SP is super-cheap and and shoots well, also.

If you have any benchmark laying around, try that with 55gr vmax or BT. Don't think I would use it in deer but great coyote combo.

This^^

I just purchased a Remington 700 adl in 22-250. 24" barrel 1/14" twist. Looking for a potential place to start for reloading for it. Ive reloaded for a while now but not super knowledgeable with it. I've read alot about 55(ish) grain bullets are about the heaviest that will stabilize in a 1/14" twist. Im looking for others input for starting out to find something I can all purpose. Looking to b able to varmint and predator hunt as well as capable of taking white tail with providing the right shot placement. I've got a couple boxes of factory rounds to get me started for at least a rough zero and to gain brass from. Any and all input would b helpful!

Some states don't allow 22 cal for deer hunting. Try a reloading manual for starters. You'll get 500 opinions from this website.

I ordered 200 factory seconds 52 gr match grade hollow point to try out

Mine does. As long as it's centerfire is the only restriction for rifle calibers

Powders: IMR 4064, Varget, H4895 are all good first choices. H380 is also very accurate BUT, for hunting I didn't like it because it was very temperature sensitive. In the heat of summer I got pressure surges. I prefer "stick" powders over ball powders for hunting purposes. Might be a consideration for you since you plan to hunt ghogs and predators and the temperature differences, depending on where you hunt could be a factor.

My Rem 700, 14" didn't shoot the 55's as well as the 50's. I used Nosler 50 BT's.

Another powder that shot very tiny groups for me, under 1/4" was IMR 4350. I would have never believed it or even tried it if it wasn't for a fellow ghog hunter recommending it. I was stunned by the small groups. However the velocity was limited to about 3,500 ft/s. The Nosler Manual 5th Edition has published load data for this powder in the 22 250

I may have to try the 4350. I keep my loads around 3500, anyway.

I use Nosler 50 gr BT over Benchmark for varmints and predators. Nosler 60gr Partition over Superformance for antelope and deer. POI in mine is within 1/2 in of each other at 200.
