[QUOTE="shilen30, post: 64192, member: 2420"] I have a 788 rebarrelled with a 1 in 9" douglas XX that will shoot sub .3" groups with IMR4350 (by far and away the most popular powder with the 68s and 69s as stated by hornady and sierra reps and others I know) when I do my part. Both the 68s and 69s work great in 9 and 10 twist barrels, though I have to seat the 68s to the lands due to the lower drag design. The 69 SMKs are a touch more accurate though. Tell you what, my loads are not hot, yet very accurate. I have shot hundreds of rounds through that douglas barrel and it is yet to loose accuracy. I was going to rebarrel and make it into a 6 dasher or 6BR, but I just can't convince myself to spend the money considering the accuracy of my rifle. OK, enough about me and now to help you with your problem. Go with JLK or Berger bullets in your 12 twist that weigh up to 64 grains. Go to the berger web site and see what bullets they recommend for the 12 twist. Starting out I would use a LTB design, and if you are an experienced loader and know how to seat [b]TO[/b] the lands and not [b]IN[/b] the lands go with a berger VLD or a JLK brand bullet (JLKs are not bergers). Try RL15, varget, and H380 with CCI BR2 primers. If you can afford it, go with norma brass, if not go with winchester and sort. Stay away from remington brass in 22-250. Terrible brass from the 2 lots I have bought, and I am not the only one that has experienced this though in other calibers RP brass has been fine. [/QUOTE]
