What's your favorite 22-250 powder?

I used 31.0 grains of imr3031 for years with my old 22-250 with 55gr. bullets at 3400 fps. This load was so accurate
I never tried anything else. I finally wore the barrel out and now it has a heavy 28 inch Pac-Nor barrel with a muzzle brake.
I am now using 36.0 grains of RL-15 with a 53 grain v-max and 1/12 twist. I'm getting 3750 fps. with this load and the
accuracy is very good. I put as much lead in the stock to make it heavy. It weighs 20lbs. I put a 10x50x60 Sightron on
top...can't hardly wait to try it on the prairie rats this year.

H-380 of CFE 223 with 55's both will shoot under .1" if I do my part.
