    Powder for .22-250

    This is the exact load my remmy 700 liked loaded to a COAL 2.35 and winchester primer. The Varget is pretty temperature stable unlike H380. It becomes very important when you test loads at 70 degrees and hunt pdogs at 105.

    why not 222 remington magnum

    I am considering rebarreling my 223 1-12 twist to a 222 rem mag fast twist. I believe that it has more capacity than a 223AI to push the heavy bullets. Why is there no load data and no interest in triple deuce mag for the high bc pills.
