Favorite powder for your 22-250
I'm getting ready to load up some 55 grain ballistic tip rounds but I'm not sure what powder to use. I tried Win 760 which didn't give great accuracy. I'm thinking about Win 748, or Varget. But what experience have others had?
Thanks

CFE 223 works great in .223, 308, and 30-06, I think it would do well in 22-250 too. H 380, Varget, IMR 4064, IMR 3031, its a big list.

If you don't already have any of the powders listed in your stock.....likely the one that you can find stock of will become your favourite

22-250 Powder
Thanks everyone. Looks like H380 or Varget---I have both in stock. Interesting nobody said anything about Win 760---from my experience, I can see why.

Definitely voting for Varget, H380 tends to be a bit temperature sensitive so I'll choose Varget every time.

I've heard guys mention the temp. sensitive aspect , how so ? I've also used Win 760 and found it compareable to H380.

I recently started using a ramshot powder called TAC. I have used it in my 204 and am very pleased with the results. It flies great great in my Lyman dispenser and shoots clean to boot. And unlike varget I can still find TAC to buy.

H414 = WIN760
Other than differing lot numbers they are the same powder.
