Ok-I have a few different powder's but feel I need to maybe have a couple more on hand..

No sense me going through what I have on hand here..I just want so other ideas on what
I might want to try out..I only load for 2 rifle's I shoot alot and that is
22-250 and the 308 I will say I have RE-15 and 7 H 380 748 H 4895 which I see IMR is used a lot..

Some one mentioned Big Game I think it is for 22-250 ? Anyway Jot down what you think I should have on
hand...I wish they made 4 oz..cans....Ok thats enough BS ace aka john:help:

gotta get a can of Varget! .43gr with 150s works well!

I have had great results in both calibers with IMR-3031. I use RL-15 in 308 now, but I use 3031 in my 22-250 pistol and rifle. I have used it in 30-30 win. for over 25 years.

Ace all I use is IMR4895 and have yet to find a gun that will not shoot good groups with it, from 223-7mm.I even finally found the right combo for a problematic 308( I HOPE ).

For your 308 H4895 imo is hard to beat. I have never used it a 22-250, but I bet you could find a good load with it. IMR 4895 should work very well.

Varget for me....223, .243
Nosler list TAC 33.5 gr on a 40 gr ballistic tip as most accurate powder and most accurate load tested with TAC for 22-250

Nosler list 34.0 gr Varget as most accurate load tested with Varget for 22-250

Varget is my go to powder for both of those calibers.

Got to agree with Varget. Also don't overlook B-LC2.

Got Varget----Think I will get some 3031 and 4320 if they still make it
I heard it is hard to find..Not sure though....Thanks for the suggestions...

Always keep Reloader 19 around. Very good powder in lots of calibers....even the 6.5 Creedmoor.

I'd probably give TAC a try, since you already have 748 and Nosler lists TAC as most-accurate powder for the 22-250. Nosler's most-accurates (both loads and powders) have nearly always proven to be good recommendations for me. Great places to start, at a minimum.

Ace;

These work well for the .22-250, 6mm's quarter bores, .308 & .30-06, give Ramshot TAC, Hodgdon Varget and H-4895 a try.

I am a big fan of 4064 and 4895. You may also want to try 748.
