[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 839098, member: 29966"] My 22-250 will do exactly the same thing. I find a few good loads at 100 and then run them to 300 yards and it's quickly apparent which loads are going to work best. Oddly enough, my most consistent load at 100 with my first 22-250 absolutely fell apart after about 150 yards (high ES). Extensive testing in my rifle showed that I usually had a sweet spot of about .3 grains where all groups would shoot same POI at 300 yards. I simply set up my powder dump to throw in the middle of the sweet spot and check every 5th throw on a scale to make sure it's still throwing accurate. The majority of my best 300 yard groups were shot with loads that were put together with just a powder dump. I still trickle my 300 WSM and 6.5 Creedmoor loads because I only load 20-50 at a time, but my 22-250 hasn't been fed trickled loads in a long time. [/QUOTE]
