Do we have any "Varmint Snipers" on this site?
I have begun a comprehensive reloading program for my Remington 700 VSF .22-250 Remington.
And since Varget is supposed to work so good in the .308 wcf, I decided to use that same powder to load for my .22-250. In the past I have used IMR-4064, and I got some really small groups with that powder and I got some mediocre groups with the same batch of loads. Bottom line was it was not as consistant as I wanted.
So, a tentative load would look like this:
Case: Remington .22-250, match prepped
Primer: CCI- Br2
Bullet: Combined Technology 55 grain Ballistic Silvertip
Powder: 36.5 grains of Varget
Muzzle Velocity: approx 3650 ft/sec
How does that sound to ya'll? Too much powder? Not enough powder? Wrong primer? Wrong bullet?
Tell me what you think.
Send your pet loads. I am looking for a combination "Varmint/Target" load. You know, one load for all occasions.
Sincerely,
Dave (Bubba) Thornblom
