W-W 760 is good stuff. So is IMR 4064 and Varget.

I use 41gr of varget with a 50gr combined tech bullet (coated Nosler BT).

That is 1 gr above max load from the Nosler manual, but the coated bullet can be loaed a bit hotter.

Have taken lot of coyote with this load from 3 ft to 300yd.

Hey CLUBINE76, How do you intend to tell when you reach the Safe Max for your rifle?

hot core' i will probly find a min load and work up from that some but i probly wont try and push my luck to much with a over max load. i got 3 more months to go before i get my 22-250AI back so i am try to find out a good starting load and what max load will be around. the way its looking i might have to use a defrent powder.
