Ramshot Big Game in 22-250

[AKBman]

Wondering if anyone here has shot Ramshot Big Game in this cartridge? I have been using Varget, but the Ramshot is $5/lb cheaper. I shoot 50 and 55 grain bullets, and rarely shoot anything near max loads. Thanks

I mostly shoot IMR 3031 under a 55 grain bullet in my 22-250's, and this stuff is easilly a hundred feet per second faster! (35.5 grains @ 3550 fps). Gotta try it out

I have tried 3031, I found it worked better in my 45/70, now IMR4064 was great, except my Dillon powder measure doesn't like it. I have also had good luck with H380, but it is the same price as Varget.

Yes I do pushing a 53gr Vmax, the terminal ballistics are awesome.

Using 38.2 grains behind 55 grain Nosler BT and love it. meters well threw the thrower as well

Thank you one and all.

whatkind of velocity were you seeing? Also how clean does the stuff burn? Max load in my hand out from them is 39.5 grains with a 55 grain bullet.

I don't have a chrono at this time so i really can't tell you, I was going for accuracy. load data puts it around 3600 fps but thats just a best guess. As far as clean, I would say not as clean as the new CFE 223 but not bad to clean. prior to the big game I only ever used H380 in the 22-250 and would say it is cleaner than that. Its been a good load for me so far normally shoots under a 1/4 inch if i do my job.

Hope that helped

been my experience as well, minus the cfe223, still cant get it here

I thought about the CFE, but the load data just didn't give the velocities I am looking for.
