What twist barrel and at what range are you shooting?
I am currently working up loads in my Rem 700 in 22-250 right now. Everybody at the range who had shot the 22-250 in competition said to start with a 52 gr bullet with 38.0 gr of H380. It shot very well under a Hornady 52gr BTHP, CCI primers. Did not chrono.
I am also starting to work up some different powders and 52gr AMax and am switching to Fed Match primers.
1in12" twist 24" heavy barrel. I will post some more results afetr I get to the range.

Thanks now I kinda got an idea where to start..
33.5 gr Varget, 55 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips @ 2.42 OAL give me 3415 fps out of a 26" tube. These loads shoot .3 for me consistently.
36 gr Varget, 52 gr A-Max give me 3620. usually .4-.5" groups.
38 gr WIN 760, 55 gr Sierra BTHP give me 3450 fps out of the same gun at .3"
.......but I prefer the Noslers for a little better killing efficiency = DRT!
Hope this helps you out a little.

22-250 loads...
My 14 twist 26" tube likes several diff loads:
52 Amax, 55 NBT, and 55Bks all do very well in front of 38g H4350 or 32.5g AA2015. My second favorites would be H4895 and Varget.
These are 1/4MOA in this rifle, but you'll have to find the sweetspot in yours.
The 22-250 works well with many different powders, but if I had to pick a couple to start, I'd go with Varget and H4895 as they seem to be good in every 22-250 I've loaded for.
Good Luck

The best load out of my model 12 Savage is a 50 grain V-Max ahead of 39.0 grains of W760 with a CCI200 primer. Varget, H380, and IMR4064 also work very well.
