    More powder---what to get ? Not sure


    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

    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.
    Any clod can have the facts; having opinions is an art.

    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.

    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.
