I would like to know what your favorite two bullets and what you favorite two powders are for loads in your 22-250's? Also which combination gives your best load (Bullet and power wts. would be appreciated)? Hope to hear from a bunch of you to see if any pattern developes!

Ballistic tips and H380 or Varget. Various powder charges depending on bullet weight and accuracy with each one.

55 Sierra spitzer boat tail or 55 Nosler Ballistic Tip.
Favorite powder is Hodgdon 380, by far. Hodgdon 414 or IMR 4064 would be second choices.

I really like IMR4064 for this caliber. Nosler Balistic Tips in 50 and 55gr. are both very accurate in my rifle. Best wishes.
