[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 419295, member: 8358"] I have loaded for several 22/250Rems but always used 50 grain cup-n-core hollowpoint bullets: i.e. 50 grain Remington Powerloct. I have found excellent accuracy in all of these rifles with H-4895 powder. My son's Savage will shoot in .5" five shot groups at 200 yds. and my custom will shot one ragged hole at 100 yds. I have found accuracy in the 35 to 36 grain charge weight range. H4895 is listed as one of Hodgdon's "Extreme" powders and shows very little temperature sensitivity even when loads are developed at 35 degrees and then shot on the prairie dog field at 90+ degrees. BTW, I agree with 7 Loader that you may have trouble stabilizing the 55 grain Bergers with a 1/14" twist barrel, and every over-the-counter rifle I am aware of sports a 14" twist except for Savage which wear a 1/12" twist tube. There is only one way to find out if they will shoot in your gun and that is to try them. Good luck and hope you like you're 22/250 as much as I like mine. [/QUOTE]
