[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1696088, member: 56094"] At present I have three 22-250 rifles, 1 has a 24" Pacnor barrel, 1 is a 23.5" Schultz and Larsen and the other is a 22" Sauer 202. Normally I use IMR 4895 with either Sierra 55gr GK or Norma 55gr Oryx in the longer barrelled rifles. In the shorter Sauer barrel I have found that 35.5gr (close to max load) of IMR 8208 XBR gave me 3611 fps with the 55gr GK and sub .5" 5 shot groups at 100m. There is more muzzle flash with the 22" barrel and I wouldn't want to go any shorter. All loads are with Lapua brass and Fed 210M primers. [/QUOTE]
