[QUOTE="ForneyRider, post: 346623, member: 22519"] 500 yards is a long ways for a little 50gr bullet, but here goes... Nosler brass CCI 200 primer - what I had on hand. 35gr Varget - below max in most load data. 50gr V-Max seated to max OAL, still doesn't touch the rifling in the Rem 700 VLS. I get 3900fps throught the chrony. VLS looks like same specs as that Sendero. 1-14tw and 26in barrel. 22-250 is pretty flexible with powder choices. I went with Varget for its flexibility in several calibers I reload. I've read people using powders anywhere from IMR 3031 to IMR 4350. Varget, IMR 4064 and R15 are pretty close to same burn rate. Playing with a few calibers, I find Varget works better when it is filling up the case. This load was to mimic the Hornady Varmint factory loads. I went with the Nosler brass, because it was pretty and Nosler's reputation for quality. It has done well. Neck sizing has worked well for the VLS. [/QUOTE]
