I used the search function and looked at all the topics in the depot, if I missed it please delete my post.

I would like to see the loads for all the 22-250's including A I's please.

I have been testing the 50 and 55 NBT's with Varget powder. I've only had time and weather to try 34.5 to 35.5 grains. Hope to have better weather after this week for a range report with other loads.
Remington 700 ADL sporter barrel, Leupold base and rings, Swift 4-12x44. This is my haul in the truck coyote gun. I've ran the winchester 45 JHP's till I finally ran out, I bought several boxes of the value packs over the years. Thanks for sharing.

For my custom mauser I shoot 50 vmax with 38.1 of H380 with a BR-2 primer in win brass. Eats a hole in the X if I do my job.
Only problem with the H380 is temperature sensitivity.

I've got a Model 700 BDL in .22-250 that is my truck gun too. It's the rifle I learned to reload on and have tried a ton of different loads in it. Currently, I keep 50 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips (37 grains of Benchmark, R&P cases, CCI Primers) and 52 grain Sierra MatchKings (52 grains H380 same cases and primers as Ballistic Tip load) loaded for this rifle. Shoots both very well even though they are above listed max (no pressure signs). This rifle has always preferred hot loads just off the lands, so that's how it gets loaded. Shoots both loads under .75" all day long.

I've used 37.2grn varget behind a 52 amax for long time now,
Works like a ballistic tip on fox,
But I've just worked up a new round, and so far it's shooting like a laser beam out to 300yrds.. And devastating (literally) on fox,

40.7 grn varget
40 grn nosler BT
Win brass, body sized, Lee collet necked,
Cci2 primer
2.40" To the tip
4090 fps average.. FLAT shooter! Negligable recoil.

< .5 moa out to 300 yards,
This is over book max, work up slow, primers 'just' starting to flatten.
