My go to is RL 15 for the 250 gr AA2015BR worked well with the 225 gr bullets.

AA2015, Varget, H 4895, RL 15 and IMR 8208 for 225's. For 250's I used Big Game and RL 15. Add IMR 4064 and CFE 223 to the list for both.

We've been loading varget with a 225 gn ab. Don't shoot well at all. Going to try a speer 250 gn hot core. This gun has a ton of free bore. I slit the neck of a case and just hand started a 225 gn ab chambered it and it didn't seat the bullet. About .250 free bore.

My Whelen didn’t care much for the 250gr Hornady offerings. JD sent me some of those 250gr Speer to try and it was a game changer for the 250s for me.
