[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 860585, member: 25383"] Sierra #1365 bullet (55 grains) seated about .004" off the lands. 35.5 grains of IMR 3031 powder ( near max) with a Federal primer. I got quarter inch and less five shot groups out of three Savages. H414 is great, but wouldn't group well in my three 22-250's. Others probably had better luck that I did. AA2460 (forget the Hornaday manual exists) is another great powder to try. Speer says 36.0 grains is max, and AA says 35.0 grains with a 55 grain bullet. A lot of your bullet selection will depend on the barrel twist. Remingtons usually have a 1:14, and have trouble with B/C's above .25 (although I've shot many .25 B/C bullets with good results out of them). Savage does the 1:12 twist, and will take a B/C out to about .28 or .29. They also offer a 1:9 twist, but have never messed around with a fast twist 22-250. gary [/QUOTE]
