Folks , I've got a new Remington 700- 22-250- VSSF rifle. Has anyone used any of the Accurate or Ramshot powders loading for a 14 twist 22-250? In particular 4064 and 2520 , TAC or BIG Game. I'm not a fast guy, accuracy is way more important to me. Shot some 40 grain Varmagdedons for a nice...

I think the .243 Winchester is your huckleberry. Nosler had a ballistics engineer by the name of Gale Root. His favorite caliber was .243. Nosler had him develop the 90 grain and 95 grain BT. He took everything from WT Deer to Black Bear and even an elk or 2. I wouldn't use it on Elk myself...

Folks, I've come across a cherry VSSF in 22-250,don't think it has been shot! Can you tell me if this is a good rifle? It's fluted-stainless-HS stock-26" barrel. much lighter than my VLS, I'm guessing the stock and flutes make it lighter. I've got bullets from 40 to 55 grains-VV-Accurate-...

Gentleman, Went to the range today set up my target and realized I left the little allen wrench Leupold gives you to remove the elevation adjustment cap at home!!! Back to home, back to range, -I hate doing double work-it advertises my stupidity! Only had 7 rounds left-1st shot was 2.5 high...

Thank you all for your kind remarks. No rain until later today I'm going to try to go to the range. I've got 7 of the Varget rounds loaded for the story at 100 yards benched. Soup

Folks, I took the Tikka to the range for the first time yesterday. Loaded 3 brands of powder, -Varget - N140 and Accurate 4064, all under a Nosler 70 grain RDF. There's a VX 5HD 3x15x44 on top, mounts, rail all Leupold "Back Country". Not a nice day drizzle off / on and a little wind. Shot at...

Gentlemen, I sincerely appreciate your prompt and informative response. Exactly what I'm looking for!! Any additional help from the forum is appreciated. Soup:rolleyes:

Folks, I purchased an 8 twist .22-250 Tikka Lite , mounted a VX 5HD 3x15 on top and now the search begins! My intentions are daytime coyotes. I've got some of the RDF bullets and was wondering if anyone has used them on yotes?? Also have a bunch of 55 grain BT and Varmagddons ,, but I'd like to...

Folks, I've got a new Tikka Lite 8 twist .22-250. I'd like to use 70 grain pills for coyotes. I have 200 Nosler 70 grain RDF bullets but don't know if they are suitable for coyote hunting. If anyone is using them, or other 70 weight bullets how do you like them. Thank you in advance for your...

Thank you for your replies. I'm not looking for speed, actually prefer slower speeds. Accuracy is my goal. Soup

Thank you for your reply. Have you ever used them? Soup

Folks , Wondering is anyone is loading 6mm Nosler 55 grain pills in an 8 twist .243? I've got a bunch of them and the FB Varmegdedons. Could you get any accuracy? Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Semper Fidelis. Soup "Down South 66-68"

Folks, I've got some Sierra 53 grain Match bullets. I loaded them yesterday with 34 grains of H 4895. According to the Sierra rep on the phone today I should be about 3550 fps in a 14-twist barrel. I think Ruger No.1 22-250 varmint barrels are 1 in 14 twists. Speed is NOT my concern just...

Salmonchaser, Thank you for your reply. I was so frustrated I just left them on the frame -and another club member was waiting on a frame so I packed up and went home. Soup

Fellows, Well, I tried 6 different powder and OAL combinations. Zilch. Shot them all today over a few hours, it was a beautiful day in Southern NJ, and only loaded 5 of each combination. My 1V DOES NOT like 40 grain Varmagdedons or BT. Moving on to see what 50s will do. Thanks for your input...

Folks, I loaded some 40grain Varmagdedon using 36 grains of Accurate 2520, and 36.5 grains of Accurate Big Game for 50 grain Varmagdedeons. Results were horrible!! I'm shooting a Ruger No.1V,-action is bedded-barrel is bedded and free floated and it's got a Canjar set trigger. I'm wondering if...

Thank you all for your replies. I use all the information I can get ------especially when you're talking about Ruger No.1 rifles!! Soup

Fellows, I'm wondering if anyone is using Varget in .22-250 with Nosler 50 to 55 Varmagdedon bullets? The rifle is a Ruger No.1V. Flat base bullets seem to shoot better for me at 100 yard range. Also, in .243 shooting Hornady 65 grain VMax bullets for Coyotes, and 90 or 95 grain Nosler...
