Best primer for a 22-250

[OU812]

I'm getting ready to load some 55 grain bullets on top of IMR4895 and was wondering what primer is best to use?

 

[R Flowers]

I currently load for three rifles chambered in 22-250 and I use nothing but the Federal 210M primer. I have found this primer to be very consistant and dependable. Not that others will not work ok, but this primer seems to get rid of some unexpected fliers that I got with other brands.

You might consider Varget and H380 as possible powders. I have had good consistent one ragged hole groups with both with 55 grain Ballistic Tips

QU812,

I use Federal GM210M primers in my 22-250.

Jerry919,

What charge weight are you using with Varget and the 55 gr BT?

For primers, I use Federal GM205M as my small rifle, GM210M for larger calibers, and GM215M for my magnums.

Jerry,

I will give 36.0 a try. 35.0 gave me just over 1 inch. Not very impressive in my book. My 700 VLS has a 1:14 twist and I am hoping to get the 55 gr BT to shoot.
Thanks for your help.

I have been using Winchester large rifle primers, Rem brass, H380 powder, & 55gr Ballistic Tips with very good results from my 22-250.
