[QUOTE="Hunter2678, post: 672870, member: 47460"] Ive shot evertyhing from Sierra 55 BT's, Nosler 50,55,60 BT's, to Hornady 53gn Vmax (.290 bc on a 53gn pill !) and now think I've settled on the berger 64 gn FB varmint match's w 33.5 gns Varget. Berger says that they are for 12 twist barrels or faster right on the box.(.294 bc) Still need to chrono them however. They are averaging in the 5's at 100. All the aforemention bullets did quite well out of my Mod. 12, 12 twist 22-250. They all had different POI's however. The powder I've settled on is Varget after running it through the pact chrono and getting a 9.9 MAD. I was getting an avg velocity of 3775 fps with 36 gns of Varget using a hornady 53 gn bullet. Not too fast, not too slow, juuust right. I found nothing really comes close IMO to its consistency in velocity when the outside temps vary. H380 meters like a champ but its a much more sensitive powder in terms of keeping consistent velocity in warmer temps. Up here in the summer time thats enough to give you fits if you're obsessed with keeping it under an inch. [/QUOTE]
