Anyone here use H-380 for the 22-250? I will be using 50gr bullets, and how does it perform.

Originally it was THE powder for the 22-250. Reason it was designated with that number was that 38g produced 3800fps with the 50g bullet. It works well.

I like ball powders for the small varmint cases like the 22-250 and H-380 is as good as it gets. I like H-414 better but that's a personal thing.

Yep,good stuff for a 22-250 and meters very well
through most powder measures.I load a bunch of it in 308 Winchester also.

H380 and the 22-250 has been the easiest load development of any rifle I have hand loaded for. I used the Speer 52HPFB load right out of the Speer manual (R-P brass, 42grH380, CCI250MagPrimer, 2.350"OAL) that was developed using a Rem700 and shot back to back 3rd groups of 1.875" and 1.950" @ 260yrds, sitting, off my shooting sticks with my Rem700ADL. Needless to say, it made me a believer.

My best load for the 22-250 is 36.5 gr. H380 behind a 50 gr. Hornady v max. This recipe prints 1.5 in. at 200 yds., and less than 1 in at 100. Rifle is Savage 12 with bull barrel. Coyotes beware!!!!!

I must agree, H380 is the ticket for me and my .22-250, which is a Savage 12BVSS. Best yet group is a .286 @100 yards, most of them averaging in the .4-.5's. Varget is a another choice, which is good, but usually increases my groups to 1". Not bad for a factory gun!

H380 works in several of my rifles, but don't use it much anymore as it's so dirty burning. Never tried the magnum primers yet, that might help.

5-shots at 200-yards.

Ricardelli,
Thats pretty impressive, 200 yards? It looks like I need some help with my loads....
