ChoPPeRRe: 22-250 IMR 4895 60Gr Nosler Partition Loads
IMR-4895 From 29.5 grains to 33.5 grains for 22-250 60 grain Bullet, and work up to 33.5 grains
I saw where "Steve's Pages" says IMR-4895 From 28.4 grains to 38.0 grains but that looks to hot for the top load.

vapodogJust for giggles, there's a note in my manual saying that the 60 grain bullet will not stabilize in 1-14 twist (and slower) barrels.

Paul BarnardAlright, let me give this a whirl. It's been years since I had a 22-250, but here's what I remember. Mine was a Model 70 Winchester with a 1/14 twist. It would keyhole 60 gr Hornady plastic tips (a comparatively long bullet) and would cluster 63 gr Sierra soft points (shorter bullets)into tight groups. I'm thinking the Partitions would work fine as they are fairly short.

JumptrapOne of my favorite loads years ago used 34.5 grains of 4895 under a 50, 55 and/or a 60 grain Hornady bullet. Shot great across the board.
