    22-250 Barnes Varmint Grenade load data


    Got a bunch of 50grain VGs and not much load data available. Barnes website only listed two powders H380 and 4895. I'm out of 4895 (can't find anymore) and hate fooling with spherical powders like H380. Even though H380 is one of the best for the 22-250. Anybody got any recipes they may want to share?

    Hey Andy here are some for ya, from slow to fast burning that I have tried.

    H4350 - RL17 full case

    414 - full case

    Varget - RL15 - 38gr

    Benchmark - 36gr

    10X - 35gr

    That should keep you busy, I have run a lot more grains than shown, but those are good starting loads.

    Yes they do, and in both 12 and 14 twist.

    41gr is the most I have manage to stuff in a 22-250 case and still seat a 50gr bullet.
