I'm using H4350 with the Berger 85.5 grains. Getting 3140 fps with sub half moa accuracy
Have two 22-250's and hunt chucks with them. Use Noslers 55 gr zippedos ( yes still have some 800 bullets ) and love mine.
Assuming you were shooting the same weight pills, where did you see a difference in powders? ES/SD or groups? Just curious as I have a Savage also.I have 2, both Savages, both with 1-12 twist. One is over 11 pounds and the other is just over 9 pounds with the Shilen barrel. One likes Varget and the other 4064. Both shoot Sierra 55gr Gamekings very well. I've killed groundhogs out to 470 yards with the heavy gun. So far, the lighter rifle has only killed paper.
I was doing the load development on the model (heavy) 12 and hit on the Varget load and didn't see any point in going farther. I did shoot some 4064 but didn't get too serious with it. The model 11 is a lefty I screwed a Shilen 24" SS select match on. It shot the Varget well, but the 4064 groups averaged better.Assuming you were shooting the same weight pills, where did you see a difference in powders? ES/SD or groups?
