powder for 22/250

Post by brad »

so what is everyone finding as the most accurate powder for there 22/250 for 55gn pills ?

i previously used AR2206 but found it very fussy to slight changes incl differant tins of powder of which i had about 5 tins (and yes for some i do mean "tin") so im using up the AR2206 in the 30/30 and 25/06AI (fireforming/varmint load) and starting fresh with the 22/250 new batches of brass, new record keeping and a new powder !

i have AR2209, AR2213, AR2217, AP70N, WIN296 of which none are really suitable was thinking of AR2208 as it will be of use in the 30/30 when the 2206 is gone but not fussy about having an extra type of powder.
i should mention i also load for 6.5x55, 44mag, 30/30, 357mag, 25/06AI
so whats the most accurate for you ?

I'm a BM2 fan for the 22-250 and 2208 is okay as well.

I used to use 32gr BM2 and 55gr vmax and also 35gr 2206H and 55gr vmax. Scary accurate. Miss that gun.
