SteveW Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Welcome Jimmy, over the years I've had three 22-250's, and the powders that have worked for me H4895, Varget and the one I currently use Vit. N140. I can't comment on the 50 grainers, as I've always used 55g Vmax moly's in my 1:14's. Good luck finding an accurate load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy milnes Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 hi duey, was thinking about the a max originaly but was put off by the possibility of it passing straight through things leaving them not knowing there dead, do you find this happens or have i been miss lead cheers jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchking Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I have always used H380 in my 22.250's with 52gr A max.Around 39 to 40 grains seems to be the sweet spot. ATB SEAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 depending on the twist of your trifle the new 53gr vmax are stunning over a stout load of rl17 around 3850fps in my savage , the most accurate and destructive load I have ever used in the 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Aye up Jim, Have you still got the 243 or have you seen the light Why didn't you just give me a ring and i could dig some books out plus I use n140 in the 308 .

AnthonyR Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 53gr V-Max with 38.8gr of H380 are giving 3870fps out my 26" barrel with excellent accuracy, as long as you have a twist rate faster than 1 in 14 I would recomend the 53 gr over the 50gr, the BC is just so much better.

british bulldog Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I use 36.6gr of N140 (this load is safe in my rifle but please work up to this amount) over a 50gr v-max. This load gives 3850fps and less than 0.5moa,my rifle is remmy 700 heavy barrel with a standard 1in14 twist 26"barrel. Good shooting BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi Jimmy never had a through and through with the Amax, very very effective on foxes from 50yrd to 300yds and bunnies at all ranges also, in fact I would say the Amax is very explosive on varmints of all types cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard griffith Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi Jimmy never had a through and through with the Amax, very very effective on foxes from 50yrd to 300yds and bunnies at all ranges also, in fact I would say the Amax is very explosive on varmints of all types cheers Ian hi.moved on to 55gn bullets now but varget with 50 v max was always pretty good- 36gns giving in the region of 3650fps.no need to load heavy for this cal as all you will do is burn out the barrel much quicker.I would recc to you the following book which is less than a tenner and covers all powders and bullets you can think of-it's stocked by norman clark and it's called-one book/one calibre-the complete reloading manual for the 22-250 rem.a.t.b richard.p.s. the 53 a max came out after and has good reports with a better b.c but twist rate is pretty important with this bullet i'm told.

CZ Varminter Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I shoot 55gr sierra blitzking, or 55gr Vmax which are actually very slightly tighter but loaded loads of blitz up so when I have run out of those will pro stick with Vmax. In a CZ 550 1:14 varmint barrel. I use 36gr of R15 with above bullets pushing at around 3650 (need to chrony them yet) and they shoot with my help at .25 inch. I love my 22-250. Awesome fun calibre.

v-max Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 well guys as i said at the start of this thread im new to reloading and although ive watched quite a bit ive not done any posting on here previous to this but what i would like to say is a big thankyou for the responses everyone on here seems to be down to earth and willing to help a novice loader may thanks again and i hope everyone has a fantastic christmas all the best jimmy Sorry for late reply but in my rifle i use varget all the way with 37g on the 50g stuff & 35.5g on 52g a-max or 36.1g on 55g bullets. I use cci-br primmers as i found a delayed ignition with standard stuff on varget. I have also used N140/BL-C2 & now trying H4895 & have had great results with them all but love varget.
