55 gr V-Max loads for 22-250
Question:
I have a Weatherby 22-250 and would like to hear of any 55 gr Hornady v-max loads that are shooting well in someone’s rifle. I made the mistake of shooting the last good worked up round for this rifle that was a 52 gr hp. I was planning on pulling the bullet and measuring the powder for the load) I smoked a coyote at 342 yards while doing it but have lost my loading data where I originally worked up the load for this gun. Any help will be appreciated. It will at least give me a starting point. It’s been 8 years since I loaded the last batch for this gun.

Response:
A load I found very accurate in my 22-250(a Savage 110) is 36.5 grs. H380. Remington Core lock 55 gr. hollow point with a CCI magnum primer. The load would shoot 1/2 minute groups at 200 yrds off a bench rest.

try35.5gr. of H-4895 0.a.l of 2.36 rem. 9.5 primer 35gr of ww-748 (same as above) This one is very accurate, top load is much faster. p.s Get a new reloading manual while you’re at it….dont take my word for it. good al around powders are h-414, ww-760,h-322,imr-4895 Good luck!
